Actor Vinayakan has sparked outrage once again by making abusive remarks against several prominent deceased political figures, including former Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan. In a controversial Facebook post, Vinayakan mentioned names such as Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, K Karunakaran, and George Eden, using language that has been widely condemned. 

 

എൻ്റെ തന്തയും ചത്തു. സഖാവ് വിഎസും ചത്തു. ഗാന്ധിയും ചത്തു. നെഹ്റുവും ചത്തു. ഇന്ദിരയും ചത്തു. രാജീവും...

This is not the first time the actor has drawn criticism for such comments. He had earlier faced backlash for a similar post following the death of former Chief Minister Oommen Chandy. That incident also led to a police case being registered based on a complaint by Congress workers who alleged that Vinayakan had insulted Oommen Chandy through his social media remarks.

The latest post has triggered strong protests from political and public circles, with many demanding accountability for his repeated use of offensive language against respected figures.
