NCP leader Supriya Sule is yet to comment on the controversy
Mumbai:
An offensive comment by Maharashtra’s Agriculture Minister Abdul Sattar against Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Supriya Sule on a regional television channel has triggered a major political controversy, with NCP demanding that Chief Minister Eknath Shinde drop Mr Sattar from the Cabinet.
NCP workers led by MLA Vidya Chavan held a protest-demonstration outside Mr Sattar’s residence today. They have also demanded that an FIR be filed against the minister for his objectionable comment.
Reacting to the controversy, Ms Sule’s husband, Sadanand Sule, tweeted, saying: “So the mysoginistic leaders continue their tirade against Supriya and by default all women, who stand up to their macho behaviour and expose their character and abilities.”
“First it was go work in the kitchen and elsewhere, & now this statement by a sitting cabinet Minister in Maharashtra tantamounts to giving her money- the conjecture is well established,” the tweet added.
“Keep up the good work Supriya, more power to you and other women,” he added.
