Tamilisai Clarifies after Amit Shah Rumours: ‘Asked About Post With Keywords’

##

Amidst swirling rumours of a reprimand from Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Tamil Nadu Governor R.N. Ravi’s wife, Dr. Tamilisai Soundararajan, has clarified the situation, stating that she was merely asked about a social media post containing certain keywords.

The controversy erupted after Dr. Soundararajan, who also holds the position of Governor of Telangana, shared a post on social media that was widely perceived as critical of the ruling DMK government in Tamil Nadu. This sparked speculation that the Union Home Minister had summoned her to Delhi to express his displeasure.

However, Dr. Soundararajan, who is also a prominent BJP leader, took to Twitter to refute these claims. She stated that her meeting with Mr. Shah was purely a courtesy call and that the Home Minister had only enquired about the post in question. She further clarified that the conversation revolved around the use of specific keywords in the post and their potential implications.

“I met Hon’ble HM Shri @AmitShah Ji as a courtesy call,” Dr. Soundararajan wrote on Twitter. “He enquired about a post I had put on social media. He just asked about the keywords used in the post. Nothing beyond that.”

While the exact nature of the “keywords” and their potential implications remain unclear, this incident has once again brought to light the delicate balance between freedom of expression and the potential for political repercussions. It also highlights the scrutiny that political figures and their families face in the digital age.

It remains to be seen how this incident will impact the political landscape in Tamil Nadu and the relationship between the BJP and the ruling DMK.
