Actor-turned-politician Thalapathy Vijay, president of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), has launched a scathing attack on the ruling DMK, accusing the party of shielding individuals who use derogatory language against women. The statement arrives during a period of intense personal and political scrutiny for Vijay, as he balances his high-profile divorce proceedings with Sangeetha Sornalingam against his ambitious preparations for the 2026 Assembly elections. Amid ‘Jana Nayagan’ Row, Thalapathy Vijay Arrives in Mumbai To Attend Atlee-Priya’s Baby Shower Ceremony (Watch Video).

Thalapathy Vijay Slams DMK for Insulting Women

The TVK leader’s condemnation follows alleged verbal attacks from DMK-aligned supporters directed at women associated with his party. Vijay characterised these individuals as "mercenaries" and "opportunistic gamblers" who operate with the tacit approval of the state government.

In a strongly worded statement, Vijay expressed his outrage over the lack of accountability from the ruling administration:

"A mercenary individual, functioning as a supporter of the DMK with words that fall short of honoring and praising my mother, sister, and younger sisters—who are truly worthy of the pride and reverence of this land—has resorted to criticism that has spilled from their mouth. On behalf of the Tamil Nadu Victory Kazhagam, I convey my strongest condemnation to such opportunistic gamblers who operate under the embrace and support of the DMK leadership."

He further criticised the government's inaction, stating, "I also strongly condemn the DMK government for taking no action whatsoever against such persons. Thinking to provoke the T.Ve.Ka., this act—which insults all women collectively—will ensure, by the unanimous decision of the mother clan in the upcoming election, that the evil force DMK is firmly, firmly, firmly destined to swallow the land."
