Mahua Moitra took a jab at Smriti Irani for her “misogynistic man and indecent act” comment on Rahul Gandhi.
Moitra told reporters, “When a BJP MP was accused of harassment and molestation by our champion wrestlers, we did not hear one word out of the Women and Child Development minister and now she is talking about some flying kiss. Where are your priorities, madam?”
The TMC MP did not take the name but she was referring to Brij Bhusan Sharan Singh being accused of sexual harassment by women wrestlers.
In the session held yesterday, Irani bashed Gandhi for blowing a kiss while leaving the parliament.
“Never before has the “misogynistic behaviour” of a man been so visible in parliament. When the House of the people – where laws are made to protect the dignity of women – during the course of a session stands witness to a man’s misogyny, my question is should he be brought to task?” said the Minister of women and child development.
The Congress had countered that Mr. Gandhi was gesturing towards slogan-shouting BJP MPs as he had called them brothers and sisters and it was not directed towards a particular MP.
