The DMK IT wing and some mainstream media outlets have been circulating an old misconstrued video of a Tamil Nadu BJP Muslim women member Alisha Abdulla, with some Dravidian Stockists making below-the-belt remarks.

In an interview to a YouTube channel two months ago, Alisha Abdulla stated that if a woman knows Hindi, she can escape rapists in North Indian cities like Delhi. After two months, the statement that was not a talking point when the interview was given has now become a soundbite.

Sun News published a news card in which she was quoted as saying that in cities like Delhi or Hyderabad if a girl knows Hindi, she can scold the harasser with bad words and escape.

However, Alisha refuted Sun News saying that it is a shame for a leading news channel to publish a false translation and misleading information. She added,”language gives you the confidence in such circumstances is all I meant and not to use foul words! This is demeaning & defaming ”

U2Brutus, a Dravidian Stockist YouTube channel known for abusing Hindu gods and the Hindu faith, had released a derogatory video with sexist remarks titled “Lovely kisses to 5 sense Alisha from U2Brutus,” in which he describes her as a senseless, stupid, empty-headed, and idiotic person.

In response to the video, Alisha stated on Twitter that it is not surprising to be demeaned by someone who insulted Lord Natarajar and that it is only a matter of time before he pays for his deeds.

U2 Brutus ‘Minor’ Vijay had earlier made disparaging remarks on Lord Shiva and Goddess Kaali in a video titled “This is the reason why Nataraja stands with his leg lifted”. He has also slandered Hindus and the Hindu faith in a video titled “Pornography in Vedas”

In an attempt to mock Alisha’s religion, U2Brutus said “Allah Hu Akbarka” instead of “Allah Hu Akbar.”

Alisha responded strongly, stating that she cannot stoop to his (U2Brutus) level, citing how he sent flying kisses in his video and then spewed hatred against a religion. She added that she is open to criticism but not to below-the-belt remarks.

Speaking to The Commune, Alisha said that she has been facing targeted attacks for a harmless comment that she made. She clarified that all she meant to say was knowing Hindi would help one survive in any part of India.

“All that I wanted to say was knowing Hindi is a an additional skill that can help one survive in any part of India. It adds value to one’s resume. I am at fault though. I couldn’t articulate it properly as my Tamil speaking skills are not that great.”, she said.

She also said that taking her old interviews and sharring snippets of it to target her is a motivated attempt to tarnish her image as she is working to conduct free medical camps. She said that her party BJP has been of support.

On the derogatory video published by U2 Brutus ‘Minor’ Vijay, she said “It is disgusting. That man needs medical help as he seems very insecure. There are very few women politicians in India and such attacks discourage women from entering politics. I didn’t make any comment offending anyone. I just shared my views.”, she said.
