National Commission for Women on Tuesday sought the Election Commission to take strict action against Congress leaders Supriya Shrinate and H S Ahir for their derogatory comments against actress Kangana Ranaut in a social media post.
NCW chairperson Rekha Sharma, in a letter to the Election Commission, condemned the offensive remarks and demanded a detailed report on the actions taken within three days.
“Such remarks not only violate the dignity of an individual but also perpetuate a culture of misogyny and disrespect towards women,” the letter read.
“The NCW is deeply concerned by the recent incident involving Supriya Shrinate and H S Ahir, State Joint Co-Ordinator, Kisan Congress, who made lewd and highly derogatory remarks on social media directed at Kangana Ranaut,“ the letter further read.
The Commission further urged individuals to exercise responsibility and respect towards others, particularly towards women, to foster a safe and respectful online environment.
