Yesterday in Parliament I was astonished by the reply I got to an unstarred question: Kanimozhi

Yesterday in parliament I was astonished by the reply I got to an unstarred question by minister G Kishan Reddy.

You have mentioned about walls and toilets being built around the hertiage site, drinking water and solar powered lights being installed.

But unfortunately we are not able to see or find any of them?

And we would prefer that you build the museum first.

Kanimozhi – MP, DMK leader:

The woman IPS officer continues to get persecuted, even after the misbehaviour of her senior comes to light.

She was harassed yesterday at the Paranur Tollgate by her fellow officers,who ‘threatened’ her to not to register a complaint.

This is shameful. We demand immediate justice.

Earlier Tweet – 24 Feb:

The protector also needs protection during ADMK rule.

When a woman IPS officer is sexually harassed by a higher ranked officer and the CM takes no notice of it, what hope do ‘ordinary’ women have in this regime?

The Govt shouldn’t take lightly threats to livelihood, flooding & ecological damage.

At Sivakasi 8 lakh people were employed by the Firecracker industry and they earned their living by this industry in 1,500 factories.

They are waiting for the change.

Even before the shock of one crime dies down there is another victim.. : Kanimozhi

Kanimozhi – MP, DMK leader:

The horrific crime inflicted on the 19 year old dalit girl in UP speaks volumes about the safety of young women in UP.

The act of the UP police in not allowing the family to conduct the last rites of the victim is inhuman.

Even before the shock of one crime dies down there is another victim a 22 year old who was raped and killed brutally.

The crime perpetrated on these girls is not only a shame for the country, but to humanity.

What is the UP government doing?

NGOs have been acting as a voice of the marginalized: Kanimozhi

Kanimozhi – MP, DMK leader:

The contribution of the NGOs in the development of the country cannot simply be ignored.

Their contribution in Education, Health and Environment related issues played a huge role in the growth of this nation.

But for their contribution many human rights violation instances would never have seen the light of the day.

They have been acting as a voice of the marginalized.

The FCRA Bill 2020 is an attempt to cripple all the NGOs as part of the BJP’s plan to silence all voices of dissent

P Chidambaram : The unpleasant experience of DMK MP Ms Kanimozhi at Chennai airport is not unusual

P Chidambaram, Former Finance Minister :

  • The unpleasant experience of DMK MP Ms Kanimozhi at Chennai airport is not unusual.
  • I have experienced similar taunts from government officers and ordinary citizens who insisted that I speak in Hindi during telephone conversations and sometimes face to face.
  • If the Central government is genuinely committed to both Hindi and English being the official languages of India, it must insist that all central government employees are bilingual in Hindi and English.
  • Non-Hindi speaking recruits to central government posts quickly learn functional, spoken Hindi. Why cannot Hindi speaking recruits to central government posts learn functional, spoken English?
