Every word spoken by him represents the BJP and the RSS. What kind of words are these? He should apologise to women and the general public,” Sharma said.
Additionally, Congress spokesperson Abhinav Barolia also criticised Vijayvargiya, demanding that the state government take action by asking him to resign.
“This is the same Kailash Vijayvargiya who makes unwarranted statements about brother-sister relationships and rebukes journalists. Now he is talking about the ‘width’ of women. What kind of objectionable statement is being made? The BJP government does not seem to notice this. Well, why would it? When Vijay Shah, their minister, insults the daughters of the country and the Indian Army, they did not notice that either. So why would they notice this? We demand that the party and the government seek the resignation of such people.” (ANI)
