DMK urges Tamil Nadu DGP to act against TVK MLA for sending ‘obscene messages’ to Kallakurichi Collector

CHENNAI DMK president M.K. Stalin on Thursday (November 12, 2026) said that “delivering punch dialogues” would not solve any problem and that Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay should take “real action” against Deputy Speaker M. Ravishankar for allegedly undermining the dignity of the Assembly and ruling party MLA Arul Vignesh for allegedly sending an inappropriate message to the Kallakurichi District Collector.

Mr. Ravishankar landed in a controversy earlier this week after a video surfaced in which a local resident alleged he was assaulted by the former for raising a civic issue. In a social media post, Mr. Stalin said the Chief Minister appeared content with merely issuing a warning that he would not spare the erring MLAs, while suggesting that the message was intended to be planted.

CM Vijay urges TVK MLAs to stay united, prioritise public grievances, avoid controversies storyline 1 “If the Chief Minister is really serious, he should have taken action against the Deputy Speaker and the MLA. Instead, he has given them a Deepavali gift,” he said.
