In a rare gesture, Dravidar Kazhagam president K. Veeramani came to the defence of Tamilisai Soundararajan on Thursday by speaking against widespread trolling of the BJP State president on social media.
In a statement, Mr. Veeramani said that the trolling would send the wrong message to the women of the State who want to make a career in public life. He also said that such activities ran counter to the principles of Periyar, who strived for the rights of women.
