Former Madras High Court Justice K Chandru, known for his leftist and Dravidianist views has once again found himself making inappropriate comments on his social media account.
This time he was commenting on a Dravidian actor/anchor and DMK functionary who had posted a passionate post for “Kiss Day” of the Valentine week.
The DMK functionary had posted “Want to kiss without leaving an inch. Until ‘your part’ dissolves. Until love ends. On the forehead.. Until lust ends. In everything. Happy Kiss Day“.
Responding to this, the self-styled champion of social justice and a former judge wrote “Now we have the metric system. Inches, feet, and yards are all gone. Now everything is in millimeters, centimeters, and meters. Now write poetry in metric measurements!!”
Taken aback by the response, the Dravidainist anchor/actor/DMK functionary wrote “I thought you were only a judge. I didn’t know that you were Ramanujan (referring to mathematician Srinivasan Ramanujan). Even if you were, I didn’t expect you to come to this page.”
This is not the first time that former Justice Chandru who fashions himself as a social justice champion has made inappropriate comments on his Facebook account.
In the past, he has made casteist and sexist remarks about Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in his social media posts.
In a Facebook post, former Judge of the Madras High Court had commented that Annamalai is making a route for a Rajya Sabha seat through Karnataka just like “Oorugaai Ammaiyaar” – a casteist and a sexist reference to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s Brahmin and woman identity.
Oorugaai Ammaiyaar in Tamil means “a woman who makes pickles”. This reference is used because it is said that women from Tamil Brahmin community make good pickles.
It is not just a casteist reference but is also sexist and highly misogynistic that indirectly implies that women from Brahmin commmunity are good for only making pickles.
Following this, many on social media called out the casteist and sexist mindset who had once wielded the pen of justice.
