<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nNEW DELHI: Congress MP Jothimani on Tuesday slammed alleged remarks by Karur BJP district president V V Senthil Nathan against her, saying he views her as \u201cjust as woman, a body, a sexual object.\u201d The Karur Town Police have registered a case against Senthil Nathan over the remarks, which were allegedly made during a protest held on February 10 in front of the Head Post Office in Karur by the BJP women\u2019s wing.The demonstration was organised to condemn what party leaders described as injustices against women under the \u201clawless DMK regime,\u201d and was attended by BJP state secretary Amar Prasad Reddy, former MP Karvendhan and more than 300 party workers.According to police, during his speech, \u201cDistrict President Nathan allegedly made indecent and derogatory remarks about Karur Member of Parliament Jothi Mani, in a manner said to be insulting to womanhood and intended to disturb public peace,\u201d as quoted by ANI.Based on a complaint lodged by Karur District Congress President Ramesh, the Karur Town Police have registered a case against BJP District President Senthil Nathan under five sections of the law, police said.Calling Senthil Nathan\u2019s remarks a reflection of what BJP and RSS have taught him, Jothimani told ANI, \u201cThese are very disgusting and obscene remarks against me. It is the worst form of abuse. No woman should have to go through something like this. I was shocked.\u201d\u201cAccording to this person’s worldview, my knowledge, merit, hard work, commitment, and ideology are nothing. I am just a woman, a body, a sexual object. This is what the RSS and BJP taught him. His statements reflect his party’s ideologies and thought processes. This has been used as a weapon against all those women who speak their mind fearlessly, who speak truth to power, and refuse to be silent,\u201d she added.Congress MP Manickam Tagore also issued a statement on X condemning the remarks and demanding action against the BJP functionary. \u201cThis is not an isolated outburst \u2014 it reflects the toxic RSS-BJP mindset that normalises misogyny and personal attacks on women in public life. When such language is repeatedly used by party functionaries \u2014 from the State President yesterday to the District President today in \u201cNew India \u201c\u2014 the silence of Prime Minister @NarendraModi becomes telling.\u201d<\/div>\n\n
