Jayalalithaa warns Chennai club over dress code

Chennai, July 16 (IBNS): Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa on Wednesday threatened to cancel the licence of a cricket club in Chennai if it continued with its dress code stipulations after reports that a judge was denied entry because he was dhoti clad.

A Madras High Court Judge and two lawyers were reportedly refused entry in the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association Club for wearing dhotis.

The CM said in state Assembly that the action of the club was against the Tamil culture and called the incident occurring 67 years after independence as unfortunate.

Earlier political parties reacted strongly against the move asking the state government to intervene into the matter.

Members of the Madras High Court Bar Association also joined the protest against the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association Club (TNCA)'s move to deny entry to a Justice  D Hariparanthaman for wearing a dhoti.

DMK chief M Karunanidhi said the government should intervene to remove any kind of dress code in public functions. He also said dhoti is a symbol of Tamil culture.
