Row Over Hand Gesture: DMK Links TVK Chief Minister Vijay's Trademark Move To RSS
A hand gesture has triggered a political dispute between the DMK and the TVK in Tamil Nadu. The DMK has compared Chief Minister Vijay's signature slashing hand movement to the RSS Dhwaj Pranam salute, with its IT wing claiming links between the two organisations. However, the motion was originally made by DMK Chief M.K. Stalin during seat-sharing discussions before being adopted by TVK leaders, including V.S. Babu, and popularised by Vijay in the state assembly and during recent election victories. The move has sparked widespread political debate across the state.
