Peeved at actor-politician S.Ve. Shekher’s recent derogatory Facebook re-post on women journalists, actor Vishal has condemned him and expressed his anger on his social media handle. He wrote, “The past few years have seen women rising fast in the media industry in India, and especially in Tamil Nadu. While we are approaching Periyar's dream of women empowerment, the defamatory statements maligning the name of women journalists made by S Ve Shekher are condemnable. I have a lot of friends in the news industry and I know how much this would have hurt them. Not as an actor, but as a friend of them, I am very angry.”
Similarly, in a press release, Nadigar Sangam state that they condemn S.Ve. Shekher’s post on Facebook degrading women journalists and that such comments against women are highly intolerable.
