NCW issues notice to Sharad Yadav over sexist remark

January 25, 2017 17:45

Taking note of JD-U leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sharad Yadavs controversial remarks on women, the National Commission for Women has sought an explanation from him.

It also said that if he failed to reply within 24 hours, he will have to appear before the commission.

You are comparing votes to a womans honour. This is unacceptable. But then they will later say they didnt mean to dishonour women or that they were misquoted. If necessary we will also issue summons, NCW chief Lalitha Kumaramangalam said.

While speaking at a gathering in Patna, Bihar on January 24, Yadav compared the honour of votes with honour of ones daughter. He said that people should give precedence to former over the latter because it impacted the future of their country.
