The
Tamil
Nadu
assembly
spent
almost
a
day
on
debating
whether
the
government
should
impose
a
dress
code
for
actresses,
after
seeing
the
way
Namitha
and
Shreya
dresses
at
public
functions.
The
debate
has
been
started
by
PMK
Chief
whip
Velmurugan
(who
is
appeared
as
an
actor
in
recently
released
film
Vazhthugal!)
during
the
motion
of
thanks
to
the
Governor's
address
launched
a
broadside
against
Tamil
television
channels,
including
Chief
Minister
M.Karunanidhi's
family
run
'Kalaignar
TV',
"had
been
airing
vulgar
and
explicit
programmes,
which
tempts
younger
generation
as
to
chose
the
wrong
path".
He
was
referring
to
Namitha's
wardrobe
in
the
popular
dance
show
Maanada
Mayilada
on
Kalaignar
TV,
where
she
is
the
main
judge
for
the
programme.
He
also
criticized
actress
Shreya's
'inappropriate'
and
intentional
attires
at
various
events
including
the
recent
Shivaji-200
days
function
attended
by
Chief
Minister
M
Karunanidhi.
The
PMK,
MLA's
ire
was
targeted
at
TV
channels
owned
by
politicians
which
he
said
was
"portraying
women
in
poor
light".
The
Electricity
Minister
Arcot
Veerasamy
said
that
no
dress
code
could
be
enforced
through
a
law.
The
Minister
further
said,
"They
are
in
the
show
business.
We
can't
enforce
anything
regarding
dress
code
on
them.
All
that
we
can
do
is
to
advise
them
to
be
appropriately
dressed
for
the
occasion,
that
too
attended
by
in
the
occasions
VVIPs
like
CM
or
Governor".
