TVK supporters hurled slippers at me, charges Dhivya Sathyaraj

Chennai: DMK IT wing deputy secretary and the daughter of actor Sathyaraj, Dhivya Sathyaraj, said on Tuesday that TVK supporters hurled slippers at her when she was campaigning in Chennai."When I was campaigning at Nungambakkam for Thousand Lights MLA N Ezhilan on Monday evening, a group of TVK supporters who gathered there threw slippers at me. I was caught off-guard. They also abused me with words that I haven't heard in my entire life. Most of them who abused me were minors," she told TOI. Recalling the incident, she said it was a "horrific" and a first-of-its-kind experience after she entered politics. "I have never used any harsh words against TVK president Vijay. I was only speaking about the achievements of DMK govt. Even when I campaigned in Perambur, I wasn't treated in such a manner," Dhivya said.She demanded that Vijay discipline his supporters and teach them to respect women.
