Panchkula, August 11
Members of the district Mahila Congress today burnt the effigy of Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar for making objectionable comments about Kashmiri women at Ashiana Flats in Sector 25 here.
Condemning the CM’s statement, Haryana Pradesh Mahila Congress President Sumitra Chauhan said Khattar was speaking the language of road romeos and should be ashamed of making such irresponsible statements.
Chauhan said Prime Minister Narendra Modi was engaged in convincing the people of Kashmir that the whole country was with them, but an “unworthy” Chief Minister was inciting violence by speaking vulgar things. She said an FIR should be lodged against him as well as other leaders for making such statements. He should apologise for this. All-India Mahila Congress convener Ranjita Mehta said the tongue of the Chief Minister repeatedly slipped and he later apologised. Earlier, he had said that minor incidents such as rape continued to occur as women were wearing jeans. She said earlier Cabinet Minister OP Dhankar had also stated that they would bring daughters-in-law from Bihar.
