'It's unfortunate': Rahul Gandhi on Kamal Nath's 'item' remark

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday called Madhya Pradesh Congress chief Kamal Nath's 'item' remark against BJP leader Imarti Devi 'unfortunate'.

"One cannot treat women with disrespect. Kamalnath ji is from my party. But I don't like personally the type of language that Kamal Nath ji has used. I do not appreciate it. It is unfortunate", Rahul Gandhi said.

Addressing a meeting on Sunday for the November 3 by-election in Gwalior's Dabra town, Kamal Nath has said the Congress candidate was a "simple person" unlike his opponent who was an "item".
