🔥ONE STATEMENT, AND history ERUPTED
Sengottaiyan’s recent claim that “Jayalalithaa’s rule was the most sacred governance tamil Nadu ever had” didn’t just trigger debate — it tore open old wounds.
Because behind the political poetry lies a brutal, documented reality:
Some of the darkest human rights violations in the state’s history happened on her watch.
And here’s the sharp irony — Sengottaiyan himself only became a minister after Jayalalithaa’s death.
So what exactly was “sacred”?
Who exactly found it “holy”?
And why should the victims stay silent so politicians can polish their myths?
It’s time to pull off the velvet curtain.
1. Vachathi Tribal Women: A Crime So Brutal It Still Haunts tamil Nadu
A “holy rule”?
Tell that to the Vachathi tribal women, who endured horrific sexual assaults by uniformed officers during Jayalalithaa’s regime.
An entire village scarred.
Women violated.
Lives shattered.
And the government machinery stood accused of looking the other way.
Where does “purity” fit in this story?
2. chidambaram Padmini: Tortured Into Headlines
Padmini didn’t just suffer — she became a symbol of brutality.
Her torture happened squarely under Jayalalithaa’s governance.
Her screams didn’t reach the government, but they echoed across tamil Nadu.
Sengottaiyan’s definition of “holy” clearly needs a dictionary.
3. IAS Officer Chandralekha: Acid Attack That Shocked a State
A senior officer — attacked by acid.
Her crime?
Not bending to political pressure.
This wasn’t fringe violence.
This wasn’t a random crime.
This was the kind of attack that only grows in a climate where power breathes fear.
Sacred?
Or scarred?
4. Planting Ganja in Homes: When Dissent Became a Crime
During Jayalalithaa’s term, critics weren’t debated — they were framed.
Opponents found ganja planted in their homes, and cases sprang up overnight.
Voices weren’t argued against; they were crushed.
That isn’t purity.
That is paranoia with a police force.
5. Weaponizing women Against Women: The Filthiest Tool of Power
If someone opposed the government, women from the ruling women’s wing were allegedly sent to humiliate them in obscene ways.
State machinery turned into an instrument of degradation.
Women weaponized against other women.
And today they dare call that era “holy”?
6. Political Myth-Making vs Historical Memory
Politicians rewrite history because victims don’t get press conferences.
Sengottaiyan praises a “sacred rule” — but he himself was not given a minister post under Jayalalithaa.
He rose only after she died.
Yet he rewrites her era like poetry, ignoring the chapters soaked in pain.
history doesn’t forget.
People do.
🔥 THE FINAL QUESTION: HAS ‘HOLY’ CHANGED ITS MEANING?
When tribal women are assaulted,
When officers are attacked with acid,
When opponents get framed,
When women are used as political weapons,
If this is called “sacred rule”, then yes — someone has redefined holiness to something unrecognizable.
Perhaps Sengottaiyan isn’t describing purity.
Perhaps he is describing loyalty dressed as mythology.
Because victims don’t get to rewrite history.
But politicians do — and they do it loudly.
