Serial molester and a Dravidianist poet who romanticizes pedophilia was platformed at a DMK event commemorating MK Stalin’s birthday. Ironically, DMK MP Sumathy alias Thamizhachi Thangapandian who fashions herself as a champion of women empowerment was seated next to the ‘Me Too’ accused Dravidianist poet. Sumathy (Thamizhachi), the DMK MP, recently made headlines for throwing a tantrum on social media after being downgraded from Business Class to Premium Economy on a taxpayer-funded Air India flight—an incident that earned her the moniker ‘Marie Antoinette’ of Tamil Nadu.
The Maduravoyal South unit of DMK’s South Chennai district organized the ‘Kaviyarangam’ event, a poetry exchange gathering, to hail MK Stalin. Sumathy (Thamizhachi) who also considers herself to be a poet participated along with Vairamuthu who has been accused of sexual harassment by multiple women.
This is not the first time that the Sumathy (Thamizhachi) Thangapandian has shared stage with the serial molester.
Earlier in November 2023, she was singing paeans about the Dravidianist poet at an event honouring the late Karunanidhi.
In that meeting DMK MP Sumathy (Thamizhachi) said “After seeing ‘Kaviperarasu (referring to Vairamuthu) as being the highlight of this event, this is what I felt. This is black-red gathering. I am red. He is black. Both of us always are in black-red… I’m bit jealous of majestically black poet.”
In February 2020, she shared stage with him at MGR – Janaki Women’s Arts and Science College for a Thirukkural event.
She also stood beside him during the launch of his book ‘Thamizhaatrupadai’ in August 2019.
Not just Sumathy (Thamizhachi) but many DMK leaders including MK Stalin himself has platformed the poet on multiple occasions.
In January 2024, Vairamuthu attended a book launch event of DMK MP TR Baalu in which Stalin, his half-sister and Thoothukudi DMK MP Kanimozhi were also present. Earlier that month, the CM unveiled ‘Maha Kavithai,’ a composition by #MeToo accused writer.
The DMK government also chose him to preside over Karunanidhi Centenary Celebrations at Tiruvarur in 2023. He was also included in the list of recipients under the ‘Dream House’ scheme of the DMK government, an initiative to honor writers from the state who have received national and international accolades for their literary contributions.
‘Me Too’ Accused Anti-Hindu Dravidianist Poet Vairamuthu
Vairamuthu is a Dravidianist poet who shares close ties with the DMK. He has been accused of sexual harassment by multiple women during the #MeToo movement. Around 17 women have levelled sexual harassment charges against the Dravidianist poet. Singer Suchitra has alleged that the Dravidianist DMK-supporting poet invited her to his home to make sexual advances.
In 2021, he had penned a song that romanticizes pedophilia. The song is about a school-going girl in love with a grey-haired old ‘poet’ and was filmed with actor Anika Surendran who was 16 years old at that time.
In 2018, Vairamuthu had called the woman Azhwar Andal by a ‘dasi’ (prostitute) who served at the Srirangam Ranganathaswamy Temple. “Andal herself is a Devadasi who lived and died in the Sri Rangam Temple.”, Vairamuthu had said quoting a book by one Subhash Chandra Malik.
Vairamuthu had also ridiculed Ram Janmabhoomi Temple and also raised questions about his birth.

In July 2024, Vairamuthu mocked Hindu practices in a poem under the garb of condoling the Hathras stampede tragedy.
