Congress speaks of ladies empowerment whereas leaders reek of poisonous masculinity

On International Women’s Day, Haryana Congress chief Bhupinder Singh Hooda led a protest march towards the state authorities. In his ‘tractor march’, ladies Congress leaders may very well be seen manually pulling the tractors.

He carried out this rally at a time when Prime Minister Modi was hailing the Nari Shakti and applauding ladies achievers in India.
Women are enjoying a number one function in India’s quest to turn out to be Aatmanirbhar. On International Women’s Day, allow us to decide to encouraging entrepreneurship amongst ladies.Today, I purchased just a few merchandise that remember ladies enterprise, creativity and India’s tradition. #NariShakti— Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) March 8, 2021
In a collection of tweets, PM Modi had shared varied merchandise made by ladies artisans throughout India and inspired extra ladies to attempt to be self-sustainable.
Bhupinder Hooda’s ‘protest march’ the place he made ladies pull tractors, was simply few days previous to the no-confidence movement was moved by Congress towards the Khattar Government. On Tuesday, whereas talking through the dialogue on the movement of due to the governor’s tackle, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar bought emotional. “This treatment to women MLAs was worse than bonded labour,” the Haryana CM hit out on Hooda.
While Hooda sat on a tractor, ladies Congress leaders pulled it.
Women Congress leaders pulling tractor manuallyWhat is worse is that this occurred on International Women’s Day. When celebration leaders like Senior Congress chief and Wayanad MP Rahul Gandhi mouth off platitudes on ladies empowerment.
This, clearly, shouldn’t be the primary time Congress leaders have downright insulted ladies whereas giving gyaan on ladies empowerment.
Congress and girls empowerment: A farce
Congress leaders in addition to the celebration’s social media account has repeatedly indulged in misogynist behaviour. During the Chinese coronavirus pandemic, MP Congress tweeted how below the BJP-led authorities, ladies ‘have to sell alcohol’ which may be very shameful. Other than the truth that it was a deceptive picture, because it was clicked throughout inspection the place a girl in uniform was finishing up her obligation, what precisely is improper with ladies promoting alcohol? Isn’t alcohol simply one other commodity? At least there may be dignity of labor and never making ladies pull tractor like an animal.
And whereas we’re at subject of informal sexism, Congress chief Digvijay Singh had caught the highlight just a few years again when whereas praising a fellow celebration secretary, Meenakshi Natrajan at a rally in Madhya Pradesh he referred to her as ‘a 100 percent tunch maal’. (Translated from Bhojpuri, the comment roughly means ‘100 percent sexy woman’.) And what concerning the common, incessant sexist and misogynist assaults on BJP’s Smriti Irani? Irani, nevertheless, responded with a convincing slap by snatching Amethi, the Gandhi-family ‘safe seat’ by defeating Rahul Gandhi.
Rahul Gandhi had as soon as commented “Have you ever seen women wearing shorts working in RSS?” with out realising the sexist nature of the comment. It is surprising that Rahul Gandhi thinks that for girls to really feel and be empowered, they must put on shorts. In truth, Rahul Gandhi has again and again displayed his poisonous masculinity. Ahead of 2019 normal elections, whereas addressing a farmers’ rally in Rajasthan, Rahul Gandhi stated that the prime minister who boasted of a 56-inch chest didn’t attend the courtroom of the general public, that’s the Parliament. “We demolished the Defence Minister’s speech. The prime minister, who has 56-inch-chest, asked a woman to defend him,” he stated.
He had lowered Nirmala Sitharaman, impartial India’s first ever Defence Minister to only a ‘woman’. That a girl gave befitting replies to his lies damage him a lot that he used ‘woman’ as an insult to her. The man who desires to turn out to be India’s Prime Minister will get rattled when a girl speaks up.
To quote Rahul Gandhi’s personal phrases, “jab tak mahila chup rahe, kuch bole na tab tak mahila theek hai jaise hi mahila ne muh khola usko chup karvao.”
