TN assembly debates on Shriya's outfit

It might sound unbelievable but it is true. The valuable time of Tamil Nadu assembly was spent to discuss on what the likes of Shriya and Namitha should or should not wear in public places. On Monday (Feb 28), Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK), a partner of the ruling alliance, launched an attack against the way the actresses dress in public places and on television.

PMK Chief Whip T. Velmurugan started the debate on which TN assembly spent considerable time. The debate was revolving around the dressing of the Kollywood girls and the 'obscene shows' aired by the Tamil television channels. Some even suggested that the government should impose a dress code after seeing Shreya, and another Tamil actress Namita (left), in 'revealing' clothes.

Some members went to the extent of suggesting that action must be taken so that public decency is maintained. Velmurugan launched an attack against Tamil television channels, including 'Kalaignar TV', accusing them of 'airing vulgar programmes which could spoil younger generation".

He referred to Namitha's wardrobe in the popular dance show Maanada Mayilada on Kalaignar TV, where she is one of the judges for the programme. He also drew the attention of the august house towards Shriya's "improper" attires at various events including the recent `Sivaji` silver jubilee function attended by Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi.

The Electricity Minister Arcot Veerasamy said that no dress code could be enforced through a law. "All that we can do is to advise them to be appropriately dressed for the occasion" the Minister said.

The debate was over after the Minister's reply but the fallout of the debate might have an impact on the freedom of the actresses to dress the way they like to.
