Recently, the political party AIADMK organised a protest in Villupuram, Tamil Nadu, condemning the DMK government for failing to prevent the cases of sexual assault in the state of Tamil Nadu. During the protest, while addressing the crowd, the party's leader, CV Shanmugam, took actress Nayanthara's name in one of the statements in poor taste. The remark has clearly not gone down well with the netizens, who have slammed the AIADMK chief.

During his speech, the leader spoke about former President APJ Abdul Kalam’s famous call to “dream” before he went on to make a crude analogy, dragging Nayanthara's name in it.
