In protest against the incident in Kanyakumari in which a TVK functionary sexually harassed a college student, AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi Palaniswami has posted on his X page.
“The news that a college student waiting for a bus near Nagercoil in Kanyakumari district was sexually harassed by Christopher, a ruling party TVK district executive committee member, under the pretense of helping her is shocking.
Perhaps the present Chief Minister has forgotten that his party members exist, even when he said, ‘We will be the number one government in protecting women,’
The news that Christopher, a ruling-party TVK district executive committee member, allegedly sexually harassed a college student who was waiting for a bus near Nagercoil in Kanyakumari district by pretending to help her is shocking. When he said, “It will be a government that ranks number 1 in protecting women,” perhaps the current Chief Minister forgot that his own party members exist. Sexual harassment of women by these lustful SIRs of the ruling-party TVK is increasing. It seems that only the government has changed, not the scene; TVK is now standing as the address for sexual SIRs. Amid all these atrocities, it is also unclear where the “Lioness Strike Force” has gone. Hibernation Mode? I urge this government to take appropriate legal action against TVK functionary Christopher, who sexually harassed the student, without any political interference. A heartfelt request to the women and girls of Tamil Nadu: if unknown people, especially TVK members, approach you saying they want to help, contact the police immediately. If you feel someone is trying to approach you inappropriately, immediately keep all the equipment needed to protect yourself in your handbag. “Self-protection is our own responsibility”— that is the miserable state of this government! @CMOTamilnadu @AIADMKOfficial

Sexual harassment of women by the ruling party TVK’s lecherous SIRs is increasing in this way.
As if only the government has changed and not the scene, TVK is now becoming the address for sexual SIRs.
Amid all these atrocities, it is also unclear where the ‘Lioness Strike Force’ has gone? Hibernation Mode?
I urge this government to take appropriate legal action, without any political interference, against TVK functionary Christopher, who sexually harassed a female student.
A heartfelt request to the women and girls of Tamil Nadu — if unknown people, especially if they claim to be from the TVK, approach you saying they want to help, immediately contact the police.
If you feel that someone is trying to approach you inappropriately, immediately keep all the items needed to protect yourself in your handbag.
“Self-protection is all we have” — that is the miserable state of this government!”
