Chennai: Popular actress Khushbu Sundar, who quit the Congress and joined the BJP, was today arrested at ECR on the city outskirts while she was proceeding to Chidambaram to take part in a protst demonstration organised by the party against VCK founder and Lok Sabha member Thol Thirumavalavan.
The BJP has called for a State-wide protest by its women’s wing cadres against the Dalit leader for his remarks demeaning women citing Manusmriti.
Khushbu was proceeding to Chidambaram, when she was stopped near Muttukadu on the ECR and detained as police had not given permission for the agitation.
Later, in a series of tweets Khushbu said the fight for the dignity of women would continue till the last breath.
“Cowards #VCK. Dont rejoice. Its your failure. Arrested bcoz they know we are a force to reckon with. We will not bow down”, she said.
“Arrested.. been taken in police van. we will fight till our last breath for the dignity of women. H’ble PM @narendra modi ji has always spoken about the safety of women and we walk on his path. We will never bow down to the atrocities of few elements out there. BHARAT MATA KI JAI!,” she said.
“When your journey is cut short by force, you know you are on right track. I question @AIADMKOfficial n #CM ofTN @EPSTamilNadu avl, why we are denied of our democratic right for a peaceful protest when other parties are given the permission to do the same? Why this partiality?,” Khushbu tweeted.
“Or is @AIADMKOfficial govt aware that #VCK is capable of riots and goondaism and they fear the same?”, she asked.
