K. Bhagyaraj
Taking strong exception to actor-director K. Bhagyaraj’s alleged misogynistic and sexist remarks in the Pollachi rape case, Andhra Pradesh Mahila Commission’s Chairperson Vasireddy Padma, has written to her Tamil Nadu counterpart demanding strict action against him.
Referring to the actor’s alleged statement that “boys are not the only ones responsible for rapes”, Ms. Padma questioned as to how could one blame a woman for her rape. She said people like Mr. Bhagyaraj should explain the logic behind incidents of rape and murder of very young children, sometimes even toddlers.
Ms. Padma said on the one hand governments, women’s organisations, the police and the judiciary were sincerely trying to control the rising atrocities against women and on the other, ‘celebrities’ like him made such insensitive remarks.
She said the governments should deal sternly with such people and urged the film industry in Tamil Nadu to react to it.
