MEMBERS of the Dravidar Kazhagam filed complaints in several police stations in Tiruchy and Ariyalur on Thursday even as the unsubstantiated remarks of NTK chief coordinator Seeman that belittled Periyar's feminist ideas drew flak from various quarters.

In a press conference held at Vadalur in Cuddalore district on Wednesday, Seeman mentioned an abhorrent quote regarding feminism and attributed that to Periyar. In a response to this, Thanthai Periyar Dravidar Kazhagam's leader K Ramakrishnan said he would be going to Seeman's house on Thursday seeking evidence for what the latter quoted.

Accordingly, Ramakrishnan and DK members assembled to go to Seeman's house in Chennai but they were held by the police. When reporters asked about the evidence during a press conference held in Puducherry, Seeman did not provide any proof to substantiate his remarks.
