DMK paper questions Trisha’s presence, salute exchange with CM Vijay at Chennai I-Day Event

A newspaper founded by the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam has criticised Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay over actress Trisha Krishnan’s presence at the state’s Independence Day celebrations in Chennai. Murasoli, founded by former Chief Minister M Karunanidhi, questioned Trisha’s presence in the front row and her exchange of salutes with Vijay during the event. The article questioned whether the interaction was appropriate at an official Independence Day programme and said such a scene would be acceptable only to Vijay’s fans. Trisha’s attendance at Vijay’s official events has drawn attention in recent months, including his swearing-in ceremony in May.
