A woman Congress leader from the Haryana unit was allegedly groped on stage in the presence of senior leader and MP Deepender Singh Hooda. Congress MP Kumari Selja condemned the incident and demanded strict action against the accused, while Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini alleged that the grand old party does not respect anyone.
Saini said if an application is made before the government, he will take strict action and spare no one. “They don’t respect anyone including women, the poor and Dalits. This is in their culture and DNA. If we get an application in this regard then we will take action. Our government will take strict action and not spare anyone. Women are an integral part of the society…” he told news agency ANI.
Selja said she spoke to the young woman after learning about the incident. She said the woman shared that she was harassed and abused throughout the event and it did not matter which party it was, no woman should be disrespected.
“I spoke to her, she told me that she was groped there. I have confirmed this with her. If this happens to any woman today, then what can be worse and more reprehensible than this? Action should be taken on this.”
BJP Condemns Incident, Attacks Congress
BJP Spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla took to X, condemning the incident and attacking Congress.
He wrote, “Most shocking! A woman congress leader was molested on stage in presence of Deependra Hooda by Congress leaders. Confirmed by news reports and even Kumari Selja. If women are not safe in Congress meetings in full public view during the daytime, can they be safe if Congress comes to power?”
“Remember Simi John, Sharda Rathore, Radhika Khera and many women who were abused by men in Congress itself or spoke up about “casting couch” culture or chamdi-damdi culture in Congress. Where is Priyanka Vadra and Rahul Gandhi? No ladki hoon, lad sakti hoon? Will they act on Hooda supporters?” he asked.
