Tamil Nadu Police Book DMK Leaders Over Remarks Against CM Vijay and Minister
Tamil Nadu police have registered cases against DMK leaders A. Raja, P.K. Sekarbabu, and Vasantham Karthikeyan for allegedly making derogatory remarks against Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay and Law Minister C.T. Nirmal Kumar during protests on September 12. The cases cite sections related to defamatory language, inciting violence, and disrupting public order. The DMK organized the protests to condemn Vijay's Assembly remarks on party president M.K. Stalin's detention under the Maintenance of Internal Security Act. While Raja later expressed regret over some comments, political tensions between DMK and the ruling TVK party have intensified.
