Shimla: Condemning the “objectionable” remarks made by Congress leader Supriya Shrinate against Lok Sabha candidate Kangana Ranaut, Himachal Pradesh Leader of Opposition (LoP) Jairam Thakur said the party is mulling “legal action”.
The purported post from Congress’ social media chairperson Supriya Shrinate on Monday, which featured a picture of Ranaut dressed in a corset top with an objectionable caption, has since been deleted.
“…BJP is working towards taking legal action in this matter. It has become the Congress’ habit to insult women–“Matru’Shakti’. The whole of Mandi and Himachal Pradesh is angry. Congress will have to pay for this,” Thakur told ANI.
“It is a very unfortunate and objectionable comment and I condemn it with strong words,” he said.
“She (Supriya) does not know that Himachal is known as Devbhoomi, while Mandi is known as Chotti Kashi. There are more than 300 temples over there, where people go and seek blessings. I think she has committed a huge mistake by making such comments,” he said.
Ranaut, who has been fielded by the BJP from the Mandi Lok Sabha seat in Himachal Pradesh, also hit out at the Congress leader, saying every woman deserves dignity.
