Demonstration by Trinamool women MPs

Shatabdi Roy, Mahua Moitra, Mausam Benazir Noor, Mala Roy, Aparupa Poddar and Pratima Mandal took part in the protest against Giriraj Singh’s comments. At the same time, Trinamool has made a post on its X handle regarding this protest. Terming the Union Minister’s remarks targeting the woman Chief Minister of Bengal as misogyny, Trinamool said, “Our women are our strength and Bengal has always celebrated its women power. Bengalis think that every woman is Durga. That is why our Women MPs have protested against Union Minister Giriraj Singh’s distasteful remarks against our Chief Minister.

BJP ministers are misogynists: Mahua Moitra

On Union Minister Giriraj Singh’s statement, Trinamool MP Mahua Moitra said, “If he writes Shandilya before his name, there is a poem by Dinkar ji in which he says, the sinner who has no virtues; Gotra is cute, understand, it is he who has killed us here, India has lost in its own home, so such a minister can say this about the only woman Chief Minister, that is why this is the condition of India today. BJP ministers are misogynists… they should apologize but they won’t.

There is an attempt to create confusion among people by raising the issue: Giriraj Singh

In this regard, in clarification, Union Minister Giriraj Singh said on West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee that you can see my tweet. I have said that Mamata Didi, you are ‘celebrating’ in a state which is suffering from corruption and where the rights of the poor are being snatched away. Is ‘celebration’ equivalent to ‘thumka’? Trinamool people are trying to create confusion among the people by raising this issue. It is my right to say that there is poverty, unemployment, corruption there and the Chief Minister there was in the film festival.
