Mind Your Language: Madras High Court Draws Line On Sexist Remarks, Hate Speech

The Madras High Court has cracked the whip on Tamil Nadu Forest Minister K Ponmudy for lewd and sexist comments regarding women at a rally recently. The court, in an unprecedented ruling, called such remarks targeting and berating women hate speech. It directed the DGP to file an FIR against the leader, saying that hate speech by ministers must be taken seriously. Today, on the Big Fight, we say it loud and clear that enough is enough and that this culture of impunity and patriarchy must come to an end.
