AIDWA strongly condemns the video being circulated in the campaign of the UDF candidate from Kannur, Kerala, Mr. Sudhakaran where he villifies not only his rival from the Left Democratic Front, Com P K Sreemathi teacher, but women in general by saying that women are not fit to go to the Parliament and that therefore no one should waste their votes by supporting them.

While AIDWA is wholly opposed to the brazen militarism that high-ups in the army are found to voice frequently in public in recent times, it is even more obnoxious to find them exposing with impunity their utterly insulting and warped attitude not only to women aspiring towards a military career but to women in general.
