M.K. Stalin condemned the arrest, stating that women from oppressed communities entering public life should be encouraged rather than intimidated. He criticized the ruling government's action as an autocratic move lacking tolerance and democratic spirit.
Karthika and her party members faced three cases filed in connection with the Dharapuram by-election. Specifically, she was arrested for events that included picketing a police station and campaigning along the route of the Chief Minister's roadshow after permission was denied.
Stalin claimed that the ruling government is carrying out these arrests to divert public attention from a major drug trafficking case involving a ruling party functionary and to cover up its own administrative failures.
