The DMK’s official mouthpiece Murasoli has criticised Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and actor Vijay over the presence of actor Trisha at the state’s Independence Day celebrations. This comes just days after DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin faced criticism for his remarks involving the same actor.

“On Independence Day, the dignity of Chief Minister Vijay flew away in the wind.
