New Delhi:
The BJP on Thursday attacked the Congress over its leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda riding a tractor which women legislators of his party pulled with ropes to protest against the rise in fuel prices, and asked if women in a political organisation be treated as bonded labourers .
Union minister and BJP leader Smriti Irani said it was absolutely shocking to see the former Haryana chief minister sitting calmly on a tractor while having woman members of his party pulling it physically. I understand he wants to protest. I understand he wants to make a political statement but should that be done at the cost of women? This is irrespective of our politics. Can women in political organisations, esp the scene we saw in this protest by the Congress, be treated as bonded labourers. It is shocking no male member of the Congress even intervened to stop that, Ms Irani said.
While reiterating the state s commitment to uplift the poorest of the poor, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Friday announced a new scheme Mukhyamantri Antyodaya Utthan Abhiyan .The scheme aims to identify the poorest one lakh .
