DMK members slammed Khushbu Sundar for lowering dignity of Tamil women
Explaining her stance, Sundar, who is known for her controversial remarks, took to microblogging site X and said the DMK needed her to stay afloat in the news and all she said was to control the drug menace. In a post on X, the actor-politician said no one condemned former union minister Murasoli Maran’s statement when he said in 1982 that free meals to the poor provided by then chief minister MG Ramachandran was a ‘pitchai’ (alms) thrown at them. She also cited examples of DMK leaders like K Ponmudi and EV Velu making objectionable remarks against women and the people of the state.“All of you were blind, mute, and deaf then? All I say is stop drug menace and cut your commission from Tasmac. Help our women to save the money spent at Tasmac by working clan. The amount of pain they go through with drunken men is much more than your money. Make them independent and they won’t need your Rs 1,000,” she said in her post on X. party workers took out a procession with the effigy and burnt it in front of the bus stand, raising slogans against Khushbu. They said the scheme, announced in the party’s election manifesto, was a great relief for women, and demanded that she apologise for the remarks.
