“Those with lipsticks and bob cut hairstyles would come forward in the name of women's reservation. The government should instead provide reservations for women belonging to backward communities," Abdul Bari Siddiqui said.
Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Abdul Bari Siddiqui stoked controversy after he said women with lipsticks and bob-cut hairstyles would come forward in the name of the women's reservation bill, which was passed in the Rajya Sabha during a special session of Parliament earlier this month. A video of the same has been doing the rounds on social media. Siddiqui's statement came while he was addressing an event in Bihar's Muzaffarpur. “Those with lipsticks and bob cut hairstyles would come forward in the name of women's reservation.

“महिला आरक्षण में अति पिछड़ा, पिछड़ा, दूसरा का भी कोटा तय कर दीजिए तब तो ठीक है, वरना महिला के नाम पर पाउडर, लिपस्टिक और बॉब कट वाली औरत चली आएगी नौकरी में तो आपकी महिलाओं को हक मिलेगा?”
