Mallika Sherawat is once again in the news, and of course, in trouble. This time she has received a notice from the Chennai Police for a skimpy and translucent dress she wore at a show in the city recently.
The one gunning for Sherawat is the Hindu Makkal Katchi (HMK).
Now, don't you dare take umbrage at HMK's outrage, for you will get it back in turn. They are quite a hypersensitive lot. [Link]
HMK activist S R Kaniraj has lodged a complaint with the Periyamet police station in Chennai, saying that Mallika has "caused mental agony and hurt to the sentiments of the people of Tamil Nadu by wearing a revealing mini skirt, exposing her back and sitting cross legged in front of the Chief Minister M Karunanidhi." HMK wants the police to take action against Mallika.
But the police decided to consult some lawyers before acting. The lawyers said that how to dress was one's personal matter.
Chennai police consulted lawyers before swinging into action. Following the discussion with the lawyers, the police have decided not to take any legal action against the actress. The lawyers have categorically stated that no legal provision exists for moral policing.
Quite right. You have the right to dress as you like, and make a fool of yourself too.
