A women’s delegation comprising leaders from Shiv Sena (Uddhav faction), NCP, and other like-minded parties, including the Samajwadi Party, met Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari on Monday following State Minister Abdul Sattar’s alleged objectionable remarks against NCP MP Supriya Sule.
The leaders comprising the delegation included NCP women’s state president Vidya Chavan, Manisha Kayande, and Priyanka Chaturvedi.
Speaking to the reporters, Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan said that they will meet President Droupadi Murmu soon on the issue.
“Today we’ve met the governor, and we will soon meet the president too. The insulting of women will not be tolerated. Any person, including politicians, who makes objectionable comments against women should be thrown out to set an example,” she said.
NCP leader Fauzia Khan said that they have requested the governor take action on the “repeated controversial statements” about women in the state.
