Taking swipe at DMK leader Dindigul Leoni for his comment on women's 'body and shape', Prime Minister said, "To insult women is part of Congress-DMK culture. A few days, one of the MLA candidates of DMK, Mr Dindigul Leoni made horrible remarks against women. DMK has done nothing to stop him. The young crown prince of DMK, who has sidelined many senior leaders, too made horrible remarks. DMK did nothing to stop him. Never forget March 25, 1989.
