Kangana Ranaut Seeks Rahul Gandhi’s Resignation Over Alleged Abuses Hurled Against PM Narendra Modi’s Late Mother, Says ‘Opposition Is Anti-Women’

New Delhi, September 3: BJP MP and actress Kangana Ranaut on Wednesday sought Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's resignation over the alleged abuses hurled against Prime Minister Narendra Modi's late mother, Heeraben Modi, during the INDIA bloc's Voter Adhikar Yatra in Bihar's Darbhanga. Terming the incident totally unacceptable, she said: "It reflects the mindset of the RJD's mentality towards women. They have hurt the self-respect of women and sisters of the country."

Calling the Rashtriya Janata Dal anti-women, the BJP MP said, when the opposition is not sparing the late mother of Prime Minister Modi, one can imagine what they think about us, who are their rivals in Parliament. Stepping up the attack, Ranaut said apologising is not enough, Rahul Gandhi should resign over the entire incident. Pointing out that PM Modi's mother did not take any benefits of the government and led a life of a "tapasvi", she said, still, the opposition made "derogatory" remarks against her.

Remembering personal attacks on her dignity by the opposition, she said that there were "disturbing remarks against me. They said what are the rates of the lady in Mandi?" The BJP leader recalled the ordeal she faced and said she is still traumatised. She also slammed a Congress leader in Madhya Pradesh who claimed that women in that particular state have the highest number of drunkards. Ranaut questioned why they make such allegations. Just because they (women) don't vote for Congress. ‘Meri Maa Ko Gali Desh Ki Maa-Bahen-Beti Ka Apmaan Hai’: PM Narendra Modi Breaks Silence Over Abuse at His Mother From Congress-RJD Stage (Watch Video).

The controversial remarks against PM Modi's mother drew condemnation from across several quarters, with a call for an apology from the opposition, but in vain. Tension flared in Patna after BJP workers staged a protest outside the Congress state headquarters, Sadaqat Ashram in Patna, over the abusive remarks made against Prime Minister Modi and his late mother.
