Congress MLA Phool Singh Baraiya Phool Singh Baraiya: 'Pretty Women Distract Men And Lead To Rape'

On this Special Report, the focus is on the massive political controversy in Madhya Pradesh triggered by Congress MLA Phool Singh Baraiya. The legislator has drawn severe criticism for his derogatory remarks regarding women and backward communities. Baraiya claimed that 'pretty women can distract men and which can lead to their rape' while further asserting that there are no 'pretty women' in the Adivasi, SC, ST, and OBC communities. He went on to suggest that raping a backward woman is considered equal to a 'pilgrimage' in certain scriptures. Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has slammed the MLA, accusing him of spreading venom in society and demanding that Rahul Gandhi sack him from the party. The programme examines the backlash against these vulgar comments and the political fallout as leaders from the BJP demand accountability from the Congress leadership.
