Congress’ Kannur LS Candidate Draws Flak Over ‘Sexist’ Campaign Ad

The ad indirectly implies that ‘it is a mistake to send a woman to Parliament from Kannur as a man should be sent’.

A campaign video of Congress’ Lok Sabha candidate from the Kannur constituency in Kerala is facing severe criticism for its misogynistic and sexist overtones.

The video, shared by Congress’ K Sudhakaran on his official Facebook handle, is purportedly directed at his main rival, sitting woman MP from Kannur, PK Sreemathy, of the CPI(M).

It indirectly implies that ‘it is a mistake to send a woman to Parliament from Kannur’ and that ‘a man should be sent instead’.

ഈ കഥയ്ക്കും കഥാപാത്രങ്ങൾക്കും ജീവിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നവരോ, മരിച്ചവരോ, പാർലമെൻറിൽ പ്രസംഗിച്ചവരോ ആയി യാതൊരു ബന്ധവും ഇല്ല........ " ഓളെ പഠിപ്പിച്ച് ടീച്ചർ ആക്കിയത് വെറുതെയായി"
