The controversy that is trending today nationwide is the arrest of student Sophia for allegedly shouting anti BJP slogans and insulting leader Tamilisai Soundarajan. Many celebrities including Kamal Haasan and Seeman have batted for Sophia.

Gayathri Raghuram the BJP state secretary for arts in Tamil Nadu has slammed Sophia "Such attention seeking creating news and wanna be famous within a minute by targeting and behaving against a leader stupid in the aircraft such behaviour ppl should be ignored. An educated sane person won’t behave this way in aircraft. There is a motive and she is not sane. The 'Bigg Boss' season one star has also added "I dare all the ppl and opposition party who is supporting Sophia to behave the same way in international flight and domestic flights in America Dubai and Canada etc.. can they get away easily? And learn the tight security in airports."

Gayathri has also heavily criticised those supporting Sophia "So funny to see the comments of jumping jacks for speaking the fact. The comments they use brainless and absolutely don’t make sense. It’s not affecting me. I feel sorry for affected infected brain for hash tags. I got used to ur brick and bats. They mean shit to me now." "Yes I’m Bjp and I’m Iyer ( cross belt and hip belt and pant belt. I’m papathi and all ur names you can give) and I’m Bakth of our nation. I’m not ashamed of it. You failed to see positive side of Bjp and support congress who failed us and ever since.
