Controversy[edit]

In March 1989, during the skirmish in the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly, Durai Murugan is reported to have rushed to hit J. Jayalalitha and is reportedly the reason why her saree was torn. Other reports suggest that Durai Murugan pulled her saree which resulted in it being torn.[16] [17]
