BJP leader and actor Khushbu Sundar on Sunday slammed a DMK platform speaker for his puported remarks about her, taking exception to his ”crass comments.”

She uploaded a video of DMK speaker Sivaji Krishnamurthy on her Twitter page and said ” the crass comments of this habitual offender shows the political culture prevalent in DMK.” ”There are many like him in that rut. Abusing women, passing lewd cheap comments about them goes unchecked and is probably rewarded with more opportunities.”

Tagging Chief Minister M K Stlalin, she said, ”what you don’t realise is he not only insults me, but you & a great leader like your father (the late M Karunanidhi). The more space you provide him, the more political space you will lose. Your party is becoming a safe haven for uncouth hooligans. It’s such a shame,” Sundar, also a member of National Commission for Women (NCW), said.

BJP state president K Annamalai said Krishnamurthy’s earlier comments about the Governor and now Sundar ”are highly condemnable, and we demand immediate action on this repeat offender.” Krishnamurthy had earlier stoked a row over his controversial statements about TN Governor R N Ravi and was suspended from the party, before it was revoked after he apologised.
