Mocking and deriding our heads of state for being Hindu is a habit, especially for the Dravidianists in Tamil Nadu. Leading the pack would be Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi member’s wife and DMK supporter Dr Sharmila.
In a post on her X handle, Sharmila shared a picture of President Draupadi Murmu, who is seen meditating, wearing religious marks on her forehead, and adorning a rudraksha mala. The caption mocks President Murmu, and Sharmila wrote, “I thought it was the soothsayer lady (akin to God woman) we see in TV serials, but on second glance, I found it was our President.”

She has indulged in mocking Hindus and Hindu customs for a very long time despite being a Hindu and Tamil Brahmin herself. She is the wife of VCK MLA SS Balaji, who had peddled fake news on her X handle addressing Prime Minister Modi in singular.
Following the Tirupati laddoo controversy, Sharmila also mocked Hindus making such a post as below.

In a TV debate held in 2023, she made misleading claims while advocating for the DMK alliance. She incorrectly asserted that late DMK patriarch M. Karunanidhi established India’s first women’s police station in 1973 when it was actually initiated by AIADMK leader J. Jayalalithaa in 1992. She also misattributed the creation of a female commando force to the DMK, which was established by Jayalalithaa in 2003. Additionally, Dr. Sharmila falsely claimed that the DMK ensured 50% representation of women in local body elections, a measure actually introduced by Jayalalithaa’s AIADMK in 2016.
Dr.Sharmila of VCK is not only a rogue woman but a perennial bluffer of the first order. pic.twitter.com/gZuuOAz5Ob
