Union minister Ajay Mishra Teni slammed Congress leader Digvijaya Singh and said RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat never said that ladies should only do household chores. “Our government has the very best number of girls ministers and that we are constantly working for his or her empowerment. it’s always been our priority. We are performing on providing them with the simplest education, healthcare and nutrition,” the union minister said. Not only Digvijaya Singh, but the Union minister also put Farooq Abdullah, Mehbooba Mufti within the same bracket and said these politicians are standing with the Taliban.
Digvijay Singh, Farooq Abdullah, Mehbooba Mufti are standing with the Taliban. Do they accept as true with the Taliban’s thoughts on women? If no, they ought to protest against it openly,” the Union minister said.
What began this controversy is Digvijaya Singh’s discuss Twitter where he shared an old video of Mohan Bhagwat saying that ladies should restrict themselves to doing household chores, consistent with the idea of agreement . The video dates back to 2013.
“Does Taliban and RSS have a similarity of views on working women? seems like it, unless Mohan Bhagwat Ji and Taliban change their views,” Digvijaya Singh tweeted.
The former Madhya Pradesh minister also took a jibe at Yogi Adityanath by sharing an old article on Adityanath’s view of girls that he had shared on his blog. There Yogi Adityanath wrote women require protection and will not be allowed independence. The article on his blog was later deleted but news clippings on an equivalent were doing the rounds within the recent past. Congress leader Shashi Tharoor too shared an equivalent clipping and wrote, ” seems like you don’t need a beard & turban to think just like the Taliban! Are female BJP voters in UP truly willing to be represented by this CM?”
What did Mehbooba Mufti say?
PDP leader Mehbooba Mufti said that if the Taliban want to control Afghanistan, then they’re going to need to follow truth shariah . Her comment was twisted deliberately and was interpreted as support to the Taliban, she said. “Not surprised that my statement on Sharia has been deliberately distorted. Cant point fingers since most countries that claim to uphold Sharia have did not imbibe its true values. they’re only fixated with restricting women through dos & don’ts, dress codes etc.” she tweeted later.
What did Farooq Abdullah say?
National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah hoped that the Taliban deliver good governance and follow Islamic principles in Afghanistan. His party slammed attempts of interpreting this comment as “support” to the Taliban.
