Rahul Gandhi Should Help Government Operationalise Women’s Reservation, Demonstrate Pro-Women Stance: Smriti Irani
Irani said Gandhi should back the 33% women’s reservation bill and stage the full national song at Congress headquarters, citing 80% harassment claims.
- On Sunday, BJP general secretary Smriti Irani asked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to back the 33% reservation bill for women in legislatures and organize singing of the full Vande Mataram at his party headquarters.
- Irani's challenge followed Gandhi's Saturday outreach in Pune, where he urged students to 'smash patriarchy' and claimed 80% of women face harassment, criticizing the 'Manusmriti mindset' for subordinating women.
- The BJP decried the Congress' decision to sing only two stanzas of Vande Mataram as an 'insult,' while Irani argued Hindu ethos worships Goddesses like Bhagwati, Lakshmi, Saraswati, and Durga as 'Shakti.'
- Irani urged Gandhi to support Prime Minister Narendra Modi's initiative, calling for 'immediate implementation' of the 33% reservation bill, which aims to enhance Parliament's dignity.
- Political tension persists between the BJP and Congress, as the BJP termed Gandhi's recent outreach a bid to divert attention from substantive policy commitments on women's rights.
