BJP hits out at Nirupam over ‘indecent’ remarks on Irani
22 Dec 2012 7:57 AM IST
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday attacked Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam over his ‘indecent and derogatory’ comments against BJP leader Smriti Irani and announced that party spokespersons and leaders will not attend news channel debates in which he is participating. The party also expected Congress president Sonia Gandhi to take action against Nirupam and apologise herself.
‘The kind of language and choice of words by Nirupam in a news channel debate against Smriti Irani, who is our Mahila Morcha chief and MP as well as an established TV actor, is most painful. He crossed all limits of decency and decorum,’ BJP chief spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad said.
Irani is also in the process of sending a legal notice to Nirupam and the party is exploring the legal steps that can be taken against him. Nirupam had reportedly used defamatory and indecent language against Irani during a TV debate when the Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh election results were pouring in on Thursday.
‘He has made anti-women comments and BJP strongly condemns it. Nirupam is a Congress MP and his party is headed by a woman, yet he has made such derogatory remarks. We expect Sonia Gandhi to take action against him and apologise herself,’ Prasad said, warning that in case Gandhi does not do so, party workers may hold protests against her.
