Udhayanidhi Stalin faced detention after a case was registered against him. He had allegedly made objectionable remarks during a rally on the Cauvery dispute. The controversy erupted after a DMK rally in Thanjavur on Monday. Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam filed a complaint and approached the National Commission for Women. This dispute has shifted political focus away from the Cauvery issue.

At a farmer's protest, Tamil actor and former Deputy CM of TN, Udhayanidhi Stalin, made a comment that rubbed the internet the wrong way.

TVK files complaint with NCW against Udhayanidhi for offensive remarks, demanding an explanation and public apology.
