video going viral on social media
In a video clip going viral on social media platforms, DMK spokesperson Saidai Sadiq can be heard making derogatory remarks against actress-turned-BJP leader Khushboo Sundar, Namita, Gautami and Gayatri Raghuram. He can also be heard saying that the saffron party depends only on these actresses to make inroads in Tamil Nadu. Sadiq had termed these four BJP leaders as items and made derogatory remarks about them as well as Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
Comment on Amit Shah too
Controversy erupted over Sadiq’s remarks when he said that “the four actress-turned-BJP leaders are “items”. But the hair will come back but there is no chance of lotus blooming in Tamil Nadu.
Khushboo asked questions to CM Stalin by tweeting
After this remark, BJP women leader Khushboo Sundar in a tweet tagging Kanimozhi raised the question and asked whether insulting women is part of the New Dravidian model? When men abuse women, it is said that look, what kind of upbringing has been done and what kind of toxic environment they have been brought up in. That’s how men insult a woman’s womb. Such men call themselves followers of Kalaignar. Is this the new Dravidian model under the rule of CM Stalin?
MP Kanimozhi openly apologized
After this, DMK women’s wing secretary and MP Kanimozhi openly apologized for the remarks of DMK spokesperson Saidai Sadiq. Retweeting Khushboo’s tweet, Kanimozhi wrote, “As a woman and a human being, I apologize for what has been said. It can never be tolerated, no matter what any person or party says. From where they come. I apologize openly for this because my leader Stalin and my party DMK do not forgive such people.”
I apologise as a woman and human being for what was said.This can never be tolerated irrespective of whoever did it,of the space it was said or party they adhere to.And I’m able to openly apologise for this because my leader @mkstalin and my party @arivalayam don’t condone this. https://t.co/FyVo4KvU9A
