In this episode of The Newshour, Navika Kumar examines the political storm over Udayanidhi Stalin’s arrest in the Trisha remark row. While the DMK calls it political vendetta and a free speech issue, the BJP and TVK say abusive remarks cannot be defended. The controversy has also revived a larger debate: if action is taken in one case, why do abusive remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi continue to fuel allegations of double standards? Where should the line between free speech and accountability be drawn? #thenewshour #navikakumar #udayanidhistalin #trisha #tamilnadu #dmk #tvk #freespeech #politics #timesnow
