Madhya Pradesh Congress senior leader and ex-CM Kamal Nath took dig over the comment of BJP national general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya that the way young women wore attire makes them look like Suparnakha.
Suparnakha is portrayed a bad woman in Ramayana.
Nath tweeted In the heartland of the country like Madhya Pradesh, the Bharatiya Janata Party has vowed to insult and harass women.
A BJP leader yesterday made a very shameful comment about the clothes of our daughters and called them Shurpanakha, he further said.
Kailash Vijayvargiya Bhartiaya Janta Party (BJP) national general secretary compared the dress worn by young women presently with ‘Surpanakha’, the sister of demon king Ravana as mentioned in Ramayana.
The BJP leader was addressing a event organised by the Jain community on the occasion of Hanuman Jayanti at Indore, Madhya Pradesh.
Adding he said tht he couldn’t see the image of ‘goddess’ in women because they dress in such a bad way.
Nath in his tweet quoted certain women related instances including in Jabalpur, the Shivraj government brutally repressed the police against the sisters protesting against the liquor shop. She was dragged by the hair.
In another instance after the death of a woman in Katni, an ambulance could not be found to take her dead body and the relatives had to arrange an ambulance by selling the ornaments of the deceased, the Congress leader said.
In Morena, the Chief Minister kept on giving pro-women speech from the dais and a woman standing in the meeting kept crying about her pain, Nath said.
These are only those incidents which have happened in Madhya Pradesh in the last three-four days, the Congress leader said.
For the last 18 years in Shivraj ji’s government, the state has become number one in the whole country in terms of women harassment. Insulting women, harassing them and making objectionable comments about them is becoming the identity of the BJP, the Congress leader claimed.
I request the mothers, sisters and daughters of the country to come forward in the fight for their rights, Congress party stands with them in the fight for their rights, Nath added.
