Accepting the request, the judge agreed to hear the anticipatory bail petition later in the afternoon.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>The case stems from a DMK rally held in Thanjavur on Monday to protest the Cauvery water-sharing issue. During his address, Udhayanidhi allegedly made a double-entendre remark targeting the chief minister, triggering a political storm.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>Following a complaint by Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), Thanjavur police registered an FIR against the DMK leader. Apprehending arrest, Udhayanidhi approached the high court for anticipatory bail.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>The controversy also reached the National Commission for Women (NCW), with TVK filing a complaint alleging that Udhayanidhi made &#8220;vulgar&#8221;, &#8220;objectifying&#8221; and &#8220;sexually suggestive&#8221; remarks. TVK national spokesperson Pazha Selvakumar urged the commission to take cognisance of the speech, seek an explanation and an unconditional public apology, and direct authorities to initiate legal proceedings under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>According to the complaint, the remarks were made while Udhayanidhi was responding to slogans raised by party workers during the rally. TVK alleged that the comments objectified women, undermined the dignity of women in public life and lowered the standards of political discourse. The party also urged the NCW to examine the video footage of the speech and recommend legal action for alleged public obscenity and outraging the modesty of women.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<script async=\"async\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/pl30214220.effectivecpmnetwork.com\/9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\r\n<div id=\"container-9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\"><\/div>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TVK urged the NCW to take formal cognizance of the speech and video footage from the rally and take legal action for &#8220;public obscenity and outraging the modesty of women&#8221;.
