Bhopal:
Days just after a controversy more than a former Madhya Pradesh minister from the Congress creating regressive comments against girls, a lawmaker from the party has been caught threatening a lady officer.
The clip of the incident, shared extensively on social media, shows Congress MLA Harsh Vijay Gehlot speaking aggressively with sub-divisional magistrate (SDM) Kamini Thakur.
“You are a woman. Had you been a man I would have held you by the collar and then handed the memo to you,” Mr Gehlot can be heard saying in the video.

The incident took location on Sunday in Ratlam district’s Sailana town close to the Madhya Pradesh-Rajasthan border just after the Congress took out a tractor rally in assistance of farmers protesting about Delhi and against the centre’s 3 contentious laws.
Later, a crowd led by the MLA reached the SDM’s workplace to submit a memorandum, and when Kamini Thakur took time to step out, Mr Gehlot publicly threatened the officer.
Recently, the Madhya Pradesh state Congress unit has been creating headlines for misogynistic comments by its leaders.
On Thursday, former minister Sajjan Singh Verma of the Congress had mentioned, “When girls can reproduce at 15 years, why raise their marriageable age from 18 to 21 years?”
The remark was a reaction to Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan calling for a national debate on raising the minimum age of marriage, and set off BJP demands for an apology and his sacking from the party.
The comment came as a fortnight-lengthy public awareness drive was launched on January 14 in the backdrop of increasing crime against girls in Madhya Pradesh.

Hey! Do you know if they make any plugins to protect against hackers?
I’m kinda paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked hard on. Any recommendations?
A motivating discussion is definitely worth comment.
I do think that you should write more about this topic, it might not be a taboo subject but typically people do not speak about these issues.
To the next! Kind regards!!
Spot on with this write-up, I honestly believe that
this web site needs far more attention. I’ll probably be back again to read more,
thanks for the info!
