In a bizarre yet revealing moment, DMK councillor Zakir Hussain was caught on camera repeatedly touching a woman’s hand while participating in a pledge against the Hindi language. The video, which has since gone viral, shows Hussain’s hands straying more than once—at one point, even attempting to remove the woman’s bangle. Quite an unusual way to demonstrate linguistic resistance, wouldn’t you say?
The incident has sparked outrage, with social media users questioning whether this was a pledge against Hindi or an attempt at a political power move. Critics argue that such behavior speaks volumes about the internal workings of the party, where theatrics often overshadow genuine governance.
While DMK leaders have yet to make an official statement, political analysts believe that such incidents expose the party’s hypocrisy—fighting for regional identity on one hand while ignoring basic decency on the other. The question remains: Will the party take action, or will this too be brushed under the carpet like many previous controversies?
