DMK criticizes CM Vijay and actress Trisha over Independence Day conduct
The DMK’s official mouthpiece, Murasoli, has criticized Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay and actress Trisha Krishnan following the Independence Day celebrations at Fort St George in Chennai.
The controversy stems from Trisha’s presence in the front row of the ceremony, where she was seated near the Chief Minister’s parents, S A Chandrasekhar and Shoba Chandrasekhar. Murasoli published an editorial questioning the seating arrangement and alleging that the dignity of the Chief Minister’s office was compromised by a moment where the two appeared to exchange salutes.
The editorial described the interaction as “shameless and disgusting,” suggesting that the behavior lacked embarrassment and could be seen as an erosion of official honor. Trisha, who attended the event in a traditional yellow saree, has previously been the subject of political tension in the region.
