In a recent speech she delivered for the Chennai literary festival 2023 that took place at Anna Centenary library, DMK’s MP Kanimozhi criticized Sivakarthikeyan’s film “Remo” for allegedly justifying the intention of acid attackers. She also quoted the climax of the recent blockbuster “Love Today” and talked about the plight of women in the Tamil society.

The festival which was organised by Tamilnadu school education department, was inaugurated by Chief Minister MK Stalin. In the three day event, Mrs. Kanimozhi made her presence on the final day and delivered a speech about the topic “Females in Tamil Society”.

During her speech, the DMK MP talked about how the society is treating women when they talk about their body and it’s politics, needs and other things in a transparent way. “When a women poet talks about what Aandal wrote in those days, it becomes controversy today” Kanimozhi said.

“When a woman poet writes about her body, it’s politics and needs, it sends shock waves among the society. The male poets who criticized women for being transparent, wrote vulgar things about them in their poems” the politician further said. “Right from Tholkappiyam period, women are denied rights to express their wishes” she added and went on to point out how movies are portraying women in a wrong way.

“More than 107 girls went through acid attacks” Kanimozhi said and talked about how his movie “Remo” was flawed. “I think the film is “Remo”, I don’t remember the name correctly. They justified that acid attack was committed out of excess amount of love.

“In the film, an acid attack victim would have been showed getting consoled by her attacker. Women are forced to show love to everyone who are showing love to them” said the Politician and went on to talk about how women are forced to protect their virginity.
