Sir,
Parliament is in Session, and parliamentarian who are supposed to discuss problems of people are making insensitive remarks like the one made by Sharad Yadav.
This disparaging comment by a senior MP discussing bodies of women, colour of women bodies that too in the presence of women MPs in the house is totally unacceptable . It is surprising that many of male MPs were seen bursting into laughter at this crass comment. No male MP even tried to object to this. What is more astonishing is that a woman MP Madam Mayawati sitting next to Sharad Yadav kept mum.
It was only Union Human Resource Development Minister Samriti Irani who objected Yadav to refrain from making offensive remarks about women complexion in Parliament. On one hand, we talk of women empowerment, beti bachao beti padhao and on the other hand in Parliament which is considered the temple of democracy such obnoxious comments are made against women of the country. What kind of message will go to the country and to the international community while seeing these type of happenings in Indian Parliament. What lessons are we giving to the new generation when they watch this type of vulgarity in Parliament?
It is high time the MPs focus on discussing issues related to common issues of public in will Parliament rather than discuss women of south or any zone of the country.
Yours etc…..
