DMK ally demands ban on 'Bigg Boss Tamil'
What's the story
The Thamizhaga Vazhvurimai Katchi (TVK) party, an ally of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), has demanded a ban on the popular reality show Bigg Boss Tamil. The party's leader and MLA Velmurugan claimed that the show is "denigrating Tamil culture." He alleged that the program is displaying activities that are targeting Tamil culture and tradition.
Cultural concerns
'Disgusting body movements, kissing scenes...'
Velmurugan further alleged that the show is attempting to "destroy the future of students." He expressed his discontent with certain scenes on the show, stating, "Disgusting body movements, kissing scenes, and bedroom scenes which can't be viewed along with a mature girl or children are being shown." The MLA also claimed that sexual scenes have not been shown until now.
Protest warning
Will stage protest if demands not met
Velmurugan has threatened to stage a major protest inside the Bigg Boss arena and Vijay Television if his demands are not met. He said, "I have approached the Speaker with an attention-seeking motion." "If the Speaker does not admit the motion for discussion and if the Chief Minister, IT and Broadcast departments do not ban it, we will conduct a major protest." Meanwhile, new episodes of Bigg Boss Tamil 9 are streaming on JioHotstar.
