AIDWA seeks legal action against Tamil actor Simbu, Anirudh for obscene song AIDWA seeks legal action against Tamil actor Simbu, music director Anirudh for obscene song COIMBATORE: Members of the All India Democratic Women's Association (AIDWA) submitted a petition to Coimbatore city police commissioner A Amalraj on Saturday, urging him to register an FIR against Tamil actor Simbu and music director Anirudh Ravichandran for an obscene song. AIDWA members told the commissioner that the song written and sung by Simbu went viral on social media and that it "damaged the modesty of women." Legal action should be taken against Simbu and music director Anirudh, they said. "Simbu used obscene words against women in the song. The state government should ban the song immediately," said A Radhika, district secretary of AIDWA. She said they would discuss with the AIDWA's state level leaders and conduct protests in front of the houses of Simbu and Anirudh. When contacted, the city police commissioner said the police had sought legal opinion. "Based on the legal opinion, further action would be taken," he said. PIC: AIDWA CAPTION: AIDWA members in Coimbatore lodged a petition to the city police commissioner A Amalraj on Saturday, demanding register an FIR against Tamil cinema actor Silambarasan and music director Anirudh. Speaking to Kanavu Thozhilsalai, U Vasuki, national vice president of the AIDWA, said that the song seemed to be a part of a private album that had been uploaded onto YouTube. “In the recent times, there has been a sharp increase in the number of crimes against women. They are being attacked with acid and being killed by spurned lovers, and such songs are adding fuel to the fire,” the petition stated. The petitioners also said that the songs had been written with the sole intention of insulting women. Vasuki said the lyrics was “retrogressive and obscene”, and added that it was especially depressing to note that two youngsters had penned and sung the song. “Patriarchal values are being enforced through a number of ways, and one of the ways is through the media,” she said. She stopped short of calling for a ban on all songs, which have objectionable lyrics, stating that each incident should be taken on a case by case basis. Both have been booked under Sections IV, read with VI, of the Indecent Representation of Women Act; 509 (word, gesture or act intended to insult modesty of a woman) of the IPC; and 67 (punishment for publishing or obscene material in electronic form) of IT Act.
