Sexist remarks

January 11, 2019 12:39 am | Updated 12:39 am IST

 

Congress president Rahul Gandhi’s remarks that Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked a woman, Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, to protect him, and that Mr. Modi should be “a man” and answer Mr. Gandhi’s questions on the Rafale deal are immature and lack decency. As the president of a national party who is reportedly dreaming of becoming Prime Minister, Mr. Gandhi must exercise restraint while speaking in public, especially about the Prime Minister. The standard of public discourse is getting progressively worse.
