00:00This is not like him. What is his name?
00:05Why should I take his name?
00:08You know him better than me.
00:12You should have warned me before.
00:16What an item!
00:30You read this in the newspaper three days ago.
00:43When Shivraj Singh will come, he will say,
00:46I kneel down, I lie down. He is a very good artist.
00:51This is... This is...
00:55Show some respect to Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan.
00:58Shivraj, go to Mumbai.
01:03Perform there. You will make Madhya Pradesh proud.
01:07Suresh Rajae is our hope.
01:11He is simple and straight.
01:15This is not like him. What is his name?
01:18Why should I take his name?
01:23You know him better than me.
01:26I find absolutely no justification that Kamal Naji can give for using such a derogatory
01:48word against a female political activist.
01:51For the life of me, I cannot understand why the Gandhi family chooses to be absolutely
01:55silent.
01:56And it's not the first time that a Congress leader from Madhya Pradesh has spoken so horridly
02:02about women in politics.
02:03I'm sure that you remember, Devijay Singh ji had called a female activist, a part of
02:08his own party and organization, Tanchmal.
02:11And now Kamal Nath's derogatory statement against a female activist who was born and
02:16brought up in a poor family and has struggled in life.
02:20And this is how you reduce her in public.
02:22And the fact that congressmen in that Sabha were extremely gladdened that Kamal Naji used
02:27such derogatory words is absolutely shocking.
02:50And I'm sure that you remember, Devijay Singh ji had called a female activist, a part
03:17of his own party and has struggled in life.
03:47And this is how you reduce her in public.
04:14And the fact that Kamal Naji was extremely gladdened that Kamal Naji used such derogatory
04:22words is absolutely shocking.
04:28And I'm sure that you remember, Devijay Singh ji had called a female activist, a part of
04:30his own party and has struggled in life.
04:33And I'm sure that you remember, Devijay Singh ji had called a female activist.
04:38I declare my resignation in the house just now.
04:59This is a blot on all legislators including Mensa.
05:05Yes, yes.
05:06This is not a house where men come in so that a woman's eyes can be blinded.
05:11The entire nation watched yesterday how this house was humiliated.
05:17If a woman was treated like this outside the house, she would have asked for police protection and she would have got it.
05:25This house passed the bill for sexual harassment at workplace.
05:30And we can't sit quietly and become a spectator.
05:35You cannot misbehave with a woman and get away with it.
05:39But just dramatizing it and saying, I will resign, this is a misunderstanding.
