BJP women Members of Parliament (MPs) have approached Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla over the alleged inappropriate behavior of Congress MP Rahul Gandhi in the House.
They have accused him of insulting women members. Talking to media outside Parliament, Union Minister Shobha Karandlaje said, after end of his speech on no confidence motion in the House, when Union Minister Smriti Irani started speaking, Mr. Gandhi disrespected women through his gesture.
She said, they have filed a complaint with the Speaker and demanded action in the matter.
Meanwhile, Shiv Sena (UBT) Priyanka Chaturvedi extended support to ex-colleague and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in the row over his alleged ‘flying kiss’ in the Lok Sabha yesterday, and called it an “affectionate” gesture.
“I don’t understand that when he was speaking, all the ministers were standing up. Ministers were creating obstructions. He made an affectionate gesture, what problem do you have with it? You are habitual of so much hatred that you fail to understand any gesture of love, of affection,” the Shiv Sena (UBT) leader said.
Union Minister Smriti Irani on Wednesday alleged Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of giving a flying kiss while leaving Lok Sabha and said only a “misogynistic” man could do this.
“The one who was given the chance to speak before I displayed indecency before leaving. It is only a misogynistic man who can give a flying kiss to a Parliament which seats female members in it. Such undignified conduct was never before seen in the Parliament of the country…” Irani said.
