We should be careful in creating a new internet justice system, in case it is misused: A R Rahman

Music director A R Rahman has broken his silence on the #MeToo movement by saying that he would love to see the industry become cleaner and respectful of women.

However, the music director also cautioned about ‘creating a new internet justice system, in case it is misused.’

Taking to Twitter, he said, “Been observing the #MeToo movement… Some of the names have shocked me… both the victims and perpetrators… I would love to see our industry become cleaner and respectful of women… More power to all the victims coming forward!!

“In all my endeavours, my team and I are committed to creating an environment where everyone finds a safe creative space to bring their best, evolve and succeed.

“Social media offers great freedom for victims to speak up, however, we should be careful in creating a new internet justice system, in case it is misused.”

Rahman’s statement comes after Reihana, in an interview to a television channel, disclosed that the Mozart of Madras was shocked by singer Chinmayi’s allegations against Vairamuthu in the wake of the #MeToo movement.
