“Before concluding my speech, with regard to law and order, speech is a personal right for everyone. How one is using freedom of expression, we have to think about it. My request is for political reasons one should not degrade people, women and others. This is my common request. People are watching whoever speaks about women in a defamatory way, in double and triple meaning. We have the same women as a mother and sister at home. If would be better if you keep this in mind and speak properly. “Before anyone speaks in such a manner, they should think of the women in their own family. Women are the main reason behind my political victory. I will not tolerate any abusive language against women.
Because in recent times in Tamil Nadu, there is a flow of river of obscenity and river of malice, i say this.
I request people not to make defamatory remarks against women,” Vijay, the first-time Chief Minister, said, adding, law would act against anyone making obscene or defamatory remarks about women.
