No, The Woman was not scolding Annamalai but was Greeting and Showing respect towards him by offering him a shawl

On July 11, 2023, a Twitter handle with the username “Dravidian” sparked a wave of curiosity and debate by sharing a captivating picture in which a woman is firmly grasping the shawl of K. Annamalai, the BJP’s Tamil Nadu president and saying something to him. Accompanying the photo, Dravidian claimed that this Tamil Nadu BJP party woman member was scolding Annamalai for his alleged womanizing behaviour and inappropriate conduct.

Fact Check

During our investigation, we delved into the keyword “Annamalai” on Twitter and stumbled upon a video that unraveled the claims made by the Twitter user Dravidian. This video presented a different perspective, shedding new light on the contentious image. Contrary to Dravidian’s assertions, the woman who was seen gripping Annamalai’s shawl was not scolding him but rather extending a gesture of respect and admiration.

In the video, it becomes evident that the woman in question had approached Annamalai with a shawl in hand. With a warm smile on her face, she gracefully offered the shawl to him. To express her reverence, she then gently placed the shawl on Annamalai’s shoulders and then had a very little conversation with him. The brief yet powerful moment captured in the video completely contradicted the narrative put forth by Dravidian.

The turning point came at the 17-second mark of the video, where the exact scene that Dravidian had taken a screenshot of and shared on Twitter with false claims was revealed.

So, all these points prove that the claims made by Dravidian were not only false but also part of a calculated attempt to tarnish the image of Annamalai for political gain. By seizing upon a screenshot of the incident and manipulating its context, Dravidian sought to fuel controversy, sow doubt, and cast aspersions on Annamalai’s character.
