00:00 We uncover a disturbing incident involving Congress leader Randeep Surjewala and his
00:22 alleged misogynistic comments aimed at BJP's candidate from Mathura, Hema Malini.
00:28 This latest controversy comes hot on the heels of another incident involving Congress head
00:34 Supriya Srinidh and her sexist remarks towards Kangana Ranaut, which sparked widespread outrage.
00:41 In a recently surfaced video, Randeep Surjewala is seen addressing a rally where he appears
00:47 to make a disparaging remark about Hema Malini.
00:51 During its speech, he is heard saying, "Why do we choose MLA or MP?
00:56 So that they can raise our voice, get our views accepted.
01:00 That is why we choose them.
01:02 They are not Hema Malini who will be submissive."
01:05 Here's the full video.
01:16 This comment has drawn sharp criticism from BJP's Amit Malviya, who condemned it as demeaning
01:23 and derogatory, not just towards Hema Malini, but women in general.
01:28 Malviya's condemnation further fuelled the ongoing political firestorm.
01:34 The video shared widely on social media platforms had stirred up debates about the treatment
01:39 of women in Indian politics and the responsibility of political leaders to uphold dignity and
01:45 respect.
01:46 However, in response to the backlash, Surjewala defended himself, accusing the BJP of distorting
01:53 and spreading fake news to deflect attention from the Modi government's alleged failures.
02:00 He clarified that his comments were misconstructed and that he holds a greater deal of respect
02:06 for Hema Malini, highlighting her relationship with Dharmendraji.
02:10 Moreover, Surjewala's invocation of past incidents involving derogatory remarks towards women
02:17 in politics, such as the infamous "girlfriend worth Rs 50 crores" comment and the trolling
02:24 of female leaders, adds layers to the ongoing discourse on gender equality and representation
02:30 in Indian governance.
02:32 Amidst the turmoil, Hema Malini remains undeterred, filing her nomination today from the Mathura
02:38 Constituency for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
02:42 Her actions symbolise resilience and determination in the face of adversity, serving as a reminder
02:49 of the strength of women in the political arena.
02:53 As the nation grapples with these developments, the spotlight remains on the ethical conduct
02:58 of political leaders and the imperative of fostering a more inclusive and respectful
03:05 political discourse.
03:07 It is a moment for interception and accountability as we strive towards a more equitable society.
03:14 Why do we target them?
03:16 Because we are very popular, we are famous.
03:20 So we target those who have a name, those who have no name.
03:27 We target them and benefit from it.
03:29 I have no idea about it and I think they should learn from our Prime Minister how to respect
03:35 women.
03:36 They should do the same.
03:38 It will be good.
