Actor and part-time politician Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) has once again landed in an embarrassing goof-up. But this time, it’s not just a minor typo—it’s a mistake that completely alters the meaning and intent of their message.
On the occasion of International Women’s Day, instead of saying “We Stand Against Women Harassment” or “We Stand For Women Safety” TVK members have put up a banner with the hashtag “#WeStandForWomenHarassement”—which, ironically, implies they support harassing women! To make matters worse, they’ve even misspelled harassment. This error-ridden banner was put up by the Vellore East unit of TVK.

This blunder comes from a party that aligns itself with Dravidianists, who proudly advocate for the two-language policy (Tamil and English) while claiming educational superiority over other states. Yet, such errors only expose the substandard education levels in Tamil Nadu, pointing to a deeper learning crisis.
Previous Instances Of Goof Ups
Vijay’s party seems to have a pattern of linguistic blunders. Even in the Flag Anthem video, multiple spelling errors were spotted.
For instance, in the Tamil word Sirusum, the video mistakenly used the ரு instead of று altering the correct spelling.
When Vijay initially announced his party through a press release, many pointed out a grammatical error in the party’s Tamil name—it should have been “Tamilaga Vettrik Kazhagam” instead of “Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam.” The mistake was later rectified when the party’s general secretary approached the Election Commission of India (ECI) for a formal name correction.
