‘Men fought wars while eunuchs went to Sangh’: MP Congress MLA Sahab Singh Gurjar questions role of RSS in freedom wrestle; sparks row | Indore News

NEW DELHI: “Friends, men took part in the war while eunuchs went to the Sangh,” Congress MLA Sahab Singh Gurjar stated throughout a protest in Ashoknagar on Tuesday, information company PTI reported.A video of the comment surfaced on-line and was extensively circulated, main to accusations of ‘sexism and insult to the third gender. Gurjar, who represents the Gwalior Rural meeting seat, made the assertion while addressing a ‘Nyaya Satyagraha’ protest staged by senior Congress leaders, together with Madhya Pradesh Congress chief Jitu Patwari, former chief minister Digvijaya Singh and Leader of Opposition Umang Singhar. The protest was organised in response to an FIR filed towards Patwari, who has been accused of allegedly forcing an individual to make false claims associated to an incident in Mudra Barwah village. Last month, the Mungaoli police in Ashoknagar district registered a case after reviews emerged {that a} youth from the Lodhi group had been assaulted and made to eat faeces. The BJP hit again strongly at Gurjar’s remarks and questioned whether or not comparable language can be used for different Congress leaders who didn’t attend the protest.“Did the opposition leader use a similar word for former CM Kamal Nath and former Union minister Arun Yadav as they did not join the Congress’ ‘Nyaya Satyagraha’?” BJP leaders requested. Madhya Pradesh minister Vishwas Sarang termed the protest “unsuccessful” and alleged it was a “vulgar” agitation. “This protest presents a strong example of factionalism in the Congress,” Sarang stated. Referring to Gurjar’s remarks, he added, “This statement of the Congress MLA was an insult to the third gender and women.” “The BJP strongly condemns such a statement in a civilised society,” the minister stated. As of now, Sahab Singh Gurjar has not issued any clarification on his remark.
