A political controversy has erupted after a man who questioned Karur Member of Parliament Jothimani was allegedly assaulted by a Congress party functionary during her visit to Dindigul district, an incident that was caught on camera and has since gone viral on social media.
The incident occurred when Jothimani was visiting Vedasandur town in Dindigul district on behalf of the Indian National Congress to interact with the public regarding the 100-day employment scheme. As part of the programme, she was meeting villagers to discuss the scheme and hear their concerns.
According to reports, when the MP arrived at Kalvarpatti village, she stepped out of her car to meet local residents. At that moment, a man approached her and questioned what she had done for her constituency. The remark reportedly provoked a Congress functionary present at the spot, who immediately attacked the man and chased him away.
Jothimani was present during the incident, but no attempt to stop the assault was seen in the video, which has drawn criticism and shock among viewers after it began circulating widely on social media platforms.
Following the incident, Jothimani went ahead with the scheduled programme and addressed the gathering. During her speech, she spoke about the changes brought about by the central government to the 100-day employment scheme and discussed related issues affecting beneficiaries.
