A case has been filed against actress and Congress spokesperson Khushbu in the Madurai district court, alleging that she spoke ill of transgender community.

The case, which was filed by a transgender Bharathi Kannamma, was today taken up for hearing by Justice Sabeena. The judge later posted it for April 25.

Recently, members of transgender community staged a protest in front of Congress State headquarters Sathyamurthy Bhavan in Chennai, against Khushbu and her remarks, it may be recalled.

Alleging that the actress-turned-politician spoke ill of them, they raised slogans against her and demanded an unconditional apology.

Transgender activist Sudha told reporters: “Khushbu has said that the third gender community is unfit to contest elections. She also said we are trying to occupy top posts in a hurried manner. How can she talk like this. We strongly condemn her remarks.”
