Meanwhile, security has been enhanced outside the residence of BJP leader Khushbu Sundar in Chennai.

Earlier, quoting a tweet by a DMK man, Khushbu Sundar said sorry can't speak "your cheri language" which sparked a controversy. Taking to X, Khusbhu said, "This is what DMK goons do. Use a foul language. But this is what they are taught. To insult a woman. Sorry can’t speak your cheri language but I would suggest wake up and look what was spoken and action taken."

"And if DMK does not teach you about laws, then shame on you being a lawyer and shame on your leader for having idiots like you around him. @mkstalin beware of the bunch of fools who are out there to destroy you," she said. 

Her statement soon created a controversy and the actor-turned-politician defended it by saying that she was using the word 'cheri' in a French context.

"I was very sarcastic in my tweet. When I say 'cheri', I was very clear that it was a French word which means lovable, that's what I meant. 'I can't speak your lovable language, is what I wanted to tell you'. Probably, I am too intelligent for people around," the BJP leader said, as per PTI.
