Nirmala Sitharaman spars with Mallikarjun Kharge over his 'weak women' remark in Rajya Sabha
Rajya Sabha, in its first sitting in the new Parliament building, witnessed sparring between Mallikarjun Kharge and Nirmala Sitharaman after the former’s remarks that political parties picked “weak women” as candidates and “won't choose those who're educated and can fight.” “Largely, ladies from backward and scheduled castes are not that literate. Their literacy rate is low, because of which all political parties have a habit of nominating weak women,” Kharge, who is Leader of Opposition in the Upper House, said. Reacting to Kharge's remarks, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, on behalf of her party, the BJP registered a strong protest stating that Kharge’s “sweeping statement” was “absolutely unacceptable.”

What I said exactly what often we see in our society. I mean ,if your wife is an chieftain, municipal corporation heads , MLA or anything. Then,why the hell you're getting involve in their business? If you are giving a ticket or choosing a public representatives make sure he/she is capable of taking decision in public interest. Did I say that women can't be decision makers? No , I'm just against puppet women candidates.if you are giving that opportunity to women based upon reservation then select women who are efficient and independent.
So he is saying they made Indira Gandhi PM because she was not capable of it? What is he saying? My 13 year old son brought this up when he heard it. We need more informative leaders even in opposition party.
What happens to leaders of opposition in India??.. Pappu is a title that should be given to the leader of opposition of India...perhaps like Pappu The Second "Kharge"..The should start looking for "Papu Tye Third" now..they have weak candidate to represent them..
I dont understand why reservation? These are important jobs only most talented should be appointed independend of gender.
They should have bill to remove all reservations by 2029 or 2034• Not this regressive idea of introducing bills• Another thing that needs to be done is women across hindu communities and Shudra across country are treated as equal when it comes to learning anything religious from vedas or doing any sansakaars• Plus all the notions of women getting married and moving into man s house be made flexible, let them decide who move where• man should be allowed to take gotra of woman etc marriage be treated more of equal partnership• That will solve most of the social discriminiation• No reservation will be required• India has become land of reservations unfortunately rather creating an ecosystem where reservations are not required•
Nirmala Sitharaman talks like she is talking to a bunch of school children and she is their teacher. She just shouts in a mannerless way and expects that it will be taken as a mark of assertiveness. More and more educated class ate keeping themselves distanced from this kind of behaviour
What Kharge said is absolutely right. Parties choose such men and women both who will not raise more question for power and few popular politicians can rule . And women will be more prone to such.
New building, new technology, same old grumpy people fighting like dogs and cats. I wish they could argue in a civilized way🙄

They are not asking for reservations for all women that's the whole point of the Debate. How often have we seen empowered honorable Rastrapati Draupadi Murmu jee take a stand on anything? There have been numerous instances where she could have. To make things worse, the ruling party did away with the power of the honorable President of India to head the armed forces and appointed CDS instead. What kind of empowerment is that? A leader representative from a backward community is chosen for a rubberstamp position to disguise the reluctance of the government towards the women and minority and backward class representatives.
Well why isn't government passing the law for all caste women . And what he said is true , only power women are given the posts .
Mr kharge ji you right here because most of the parties in India give seats to sc,st women only because of reservation seat but don't give authority to take decision,so they are always in trouble that next time this party will not give me seet to contest election. Mr kharge ji knows the problem which issued here. It's right that circumstances of Dalits are severe in that case.
a weak finance minister made kharge to tremble with fear🤣
Congress as a party has lost its mind and dignity. They have been insulting India / Bharat, the people of the country and now even their very own leaders like Ex-PM Indira Gandhi and Ex-CM Sheila Dixit. When Congress party people talk about backward section women let me remind Congress and their allies had voted against now President of India Srimati Droupadi Murmur and instead voted for Yashwant Sinha.
