Why TVK Leader Velmurugan Is Seeking a Ban on ‘Bigg Boss Tamil 9’

During a press conference in Chennai on Tuesday (October 14). Velumurugan said that while he is not against television shows in general, he has issues with the latest season of Bigg Boss Tamil. He clarified that his objection is to the alleged “vulgarity” portrayed on the show. According to a report in Hindustan Times, he said, "The script writers don't care if the Tamil community suffers any harm. They are running the program on the basis that money is the most important."

Vijay Sethupathi Show Criticised for Airing ‘Disgusting’ Content

Veluuruga further criticised the Vijay Sethuparhi-hosted show for airing what he described as "disgusting body movements, kissing scenes and bedroom scenes", which he thought were unfit for family viewing. He alleged, "These are scenes one cannot watch in the presence of a mature girl or children. They've only stopped short of showing sexual intercourse. Should Vijay TV really make money by continuing to host such a disgusting, indecent programme?"

Attention-Seeking Motion Raised

Velumurugan further said that he has already raised the matter formally with Tamil Nadu Assembly Speaker Appavu. He said, "I have approached the Tamil Nadu Assembly Speaker with an attention-seeking motion. If the Speaker does not admit the motion and if the Chief Minister or the IT and Broadcast departments don't act, we will stage a major protest inside the Bigg Boss arena and at Vijay Television's office along with thousands of women." ‘Bigg Boss Tamil 9’ Contestants Revealed: Full List of 21 Confirmed Names Set To Enter the House With Host Vijay Sethupathi – Details Inside.
