BJP Slams Punjab Congress Chief Over "Sexist Comments" During Bypoll Campaign
Punjab Congress chief Raja Warring sparked a controversy while campaigning for wife Amrita Warring for the upcoming Gidderbaha bypoll. "She goes out at 6 am wearing lipstick and a bindi and returns at 11 pm. She is of no use to me. She has gone out of my hands, find someone else for me," he said. The BJP has slammed the Punjab Congress chief's remarks, calling them sexist. The Congress has defended the remarks, saying Mr Warring's comments are being taken out of context to divert attention from important issues. Union Minister of State for Railways Ravneet Singh Bittu said he found the comment offensive and disrespectful to working women.
