Karur MP pointed out that although a complaint had been lodged and a case registered against Senthil Nathan, he had still not been arrested even after nine days.
Responding to the controversy, BJP Karur district president Senthil Nathan denied making any inappropriate comments and claimed his speech had been misunderstood.
Jothimani said it was unprecedented for a political party to obstruct its own Members of Parliament from submitting the list of booth-level agents to the Election Commission during an election.
While Jothimani welcomed the CBI probe monitored by a committee headed by former judge Ajay Rastogi, she expressed concern that no time frame had been fixed for completing the inquiry.
