Divya Sathyaraj, the DMK's state deputy secretary and daughter of actor Sathyaraj, reported an incident where members of Thalapathy Vijay's Tamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK) allegedly threw slippers at her during a campaign event in Chennai. In an Instagram post, she expressed her horror but stated that she continued her speech, highlighting the importance of women's dignity and respect in political discourse. Divya called on Vijay to ensure his party members treat women with respect, referencing his divorce and praising his ex-wife, Mrs. Sangeetha Vijay. She argued that ideological differences should not lead to physical assaults, citing her close relationship with her brother despite their differing political views. This incident follows previous criticisms from her father regarding Vijay's political remarks, further intensifying the rivalry between the two factions as Tamil Nadu prepares for its Assembly elections on April 23, with results to be announced on May 4. The TVK has yet to respond to these allegations.
