DMK MP Dayanidhi Maran has sparked a massive political row with a remark comparing North India women and Tamil Nadu women. Maran, a four-time MP from Chennai Central, has said that while women in Tamil Nadu are asked to study, their counterparts in North India are asked to "work in the kitchen" and "bear children".
The remarks have drawn a sharp response from the BJP. Narayanan Thirupathy, BJP spokesperson in Tamil Nadu, said, "Once again, Dayanidhi Maran has abused north Indian people. I feel very bad about how these people are allowed to do this, although this is regular from DMK. I don’t think Dayanidhi Maran has common sense."
DMK, however, has defended Maran’s remarks. "It depends on the party that is ruling the state. Now Congress is empowering women. There is no doubt that wherever Congress is ruling, they are doing good work for the education of women… Here in Tamil Nadu, we fought for women and empowered them. We gave them education. We gave them employment. We have also reserved seats in government jobs. We have been working for the advancement of women’s rights from the beginning. In the north, there is nobody to fight for the women. That’s all," DMK’s TKS Elangovan said.
