Women and survivors in general lose when political parties and their supporters join in and politicise a sexual harassment case.

In October 2018 - When I named Mr Vairamuthu, 15 women after that named him. BJP supporters made it about ‘Payback for the Andal Issue.’

End of the day - I gained nothing. I got banned while superstars in Tamilnadu dance around with Mr Vairamuthu.

Let me also remind you that the SAME BJP supporters somehow had the exact opposite thing to say when MJ Akbar was named. MJA is still a member of BJP.

Here is an assignment. Every BJP supporter ‘standing’ for Payal Ghosh today has not said a WORD about Kuldeep Sengar. Kuldeep Sengar raped a minor and almost murdered off her entire support system. He was STILL a BJP MLA when BJP went to polls recently.

And please - All people can shut up about ‘fake allegations’. An investigation can find out if an allegation has truth or not.

As for NCW - I filed a complaint too. They sent 4 reminders to the DGP Tamilnadu. Guess what? No investigation 2 years on. 15 women have named him

I ll tell you this much. If Mr Anurag Kashyap has been a BJP supporter, the same lot would have piled on Payal Ghosh.

As a survivor - I still say - Make it a goddamned safe space for survivors of all genders to at least file our complaints. Bloody investigate it. And then figure if the allegation is fake or not.

At the speed at which you all want to invalidate an ENTIRE movement and keep yelling about misuse, ‘FAAAKE’ - when every woman has gone through sexual harassment of some kind and
The sheer number of people NEVER reported as pedophiles, abusers,
Molesters, rapists is staggering

This country, its politicians, the devotees of political parties, ideologies, caste, religion need to Shut up, give all survivors of ALL genders a safe space to file a sexual harassment case like any other case.
That said - may ONLY Truth win.
I stand ONLY for justice.

I know what it is to keep repeating the truth and be called a liar. And I wouldn’t want it happening to anyone of any gender.

Justice. Truth.

That and nothing else.

BJP supporters who didnt call out MJ Akbar and Kuldeep Sengar - Please Shut up.

The Delhi Govt promised to set up a MeToo Commitee headed by Sri Rajnath Singh. RTI said They never met even once. Film industry still has no ICC.
Karthiks, Kailash Khers, Ravikirans, OS Thyagarajans, Gundecha Bros, TAMBRAS Narayanas, Vairamuthus are doing very fine.
Thank you.

As much as I ask for the right for a fair investigation for Payal Ghosh and Anurag Kashyap - her defaming other female actors is not reprehensible. I do hope Qureshi and Chadha would take legal action.
