Karti Chidambaram Criticises TVK MLA R Pallavi for Bringing Infant to Public Events
Congress MP Karti P Chidambaram criticised TVK MLA R Pallavi for bringing her infant to public events, describing it as "political showmanship and attention-seeking." Pallavi, a first-time legislator from Tamil Nadu, has appeared with her baby at various political gatherings, including an event with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at IIT Madras and sessions at the Tamil Nadu Assembly. While Chidambaram supports family-friendly policies like workplace creches and parental leave, he questioned the necessity of bringing an infant repeatedly to public functions. Pallavi has defended her actions amid social media criticism.
