In a strong statement, DMK member Kanimozhi has said that one needs to get their thought right as the idea of south Indian women being dark and others are fair is a wrong concept.
Kanimozhi is an MP from Tamil Nadu and daughter of DMK Chief M M Karunanidhi
She said that women are not products for consumers called men. She was notably referring to the sexist comment of Sharad Yadav in the Rajya Sabha where he said the women of South are so beautiful and their figure is so good. They know the art of dance.
Senior JD (U) leader Sharad Yadav has invited sharp criticism for his sexist comments in the Rajya Sabha on south Indian women. During the debate on the insurance bill in the house he referred to “saanvli (dusky)” south Indian women and “their bodies”.
Defending party chief Sharad Yadav, the Janata Dal (United) on Saturday said the former may have made a wrong selection of words during his address in the Rajya Sabha on Thursday, but his intentions were not wrong. Sharad Yadav, whose comments on South Indian women sparked off criticism from a cross section of politicians, had on Friday refused to apologise for his comments. The 67-year-old leader also defended his remarks, saying he attacked the preference for fair women in the country. The senior parliamentarian’s comments have drawn all round condemnation from the opposition parties, who termed it as ‘appalling’, ‘racist’ and ‘misogynistic’.
