Khusbu also said she is waiting for Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin’s response on the matter and want him to make sure that no other person from the party makes such derogatory remarks against women. After a video of the DMK functionary Saidai Sidiq’s remark on the women went viral in the social media, Khushbu on Thursday tagged Kanimozhi and tweeted, “When men abuse women, it just shows what kind of upbringing they have had & the toxic environment they were brought up in. These men insult the womb of a woman. Such men call themselves followers of #Kalaignar Is this new Dravidian model under H’ble CM @mkstalin rule? @KanimozhiDMK.”

Condemning the comments on the BJP office-bearers: Khushbu Sundar, Gautami, Namitha, and Gayathri Raghuram at a recent public meeting in Chennai, BJP State vice-president Narayanan Thirupathy demanded stern action on Sidiq. DMK women’s wing secretary and party’s MP Kanimozhi apologised to actress-politician Khushbu Sundar over a DMK functionary’s alleged derogatory remark targeting BJP women leaders in Tamil Nadu. The Thoothukudi MP, who is also deputy general secretary of the DMK, said neither the party nor its chief M K Stalin would tolerate such remarks. “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,” Kanimozhi said in her tweet in response to a post which the actress tagged and asked if insulting women was part of the new Dravidian model.

Though she responded to Khusbhu’s tweet and apologised for the comments, Kanimozhi said she had also expressed that Stalin would not accept such comments or abuse, Narayanan said and wondered if a mere apology and distancing from the comment would correct the wrong. The BJP vice-president requested Kanimozhi to take steps to expel Sidiq from the party, so as to be a deterrent. “If no action was initiated on him, then the people of Tamil Nadu would come to a conclusion that DMK is anti-women and a male chauvinist party,” Narayanan said.
