Union minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat called Congress MLAs ‘eunuch' while referring to Shanti Dhariwal's insensitive comment in assembly over rising rape cases in the state.
He said that when Shanti Dhariwal was giving that insensitive statement – Rajasthan Mardon ka pradesh hai – in assembly, all Congress MLAs present in the assembly were laughing and clapping like eunuchs.
Dhariwal in March last year had courted controversy when he had linked “masculinity” with rapes while commenting on rise in rape cases.
“Rajasthan Mardon ka Pradesh hai,” Dhariwal had said.
Shekhawat said that when Dhariwal insulted Rajasthan through his comments in the Assembly, Congress MLAs laughed and clapped like “eunuchs”.
Shekhawat was addressing a public meeting in Sanchore while accompanying BJP candidate and member of parliament Devji Patel for nomination.
Earlier also, Shekhawat had attacked Congress over this statement of Dhariwal. On September, while addressing a rally in Bikaner, Shekhawat had said that UDH minister Shanti Dhariwal should be “thrown into the Arabian Sea” for his comments.
In that rally also, Shekhawat had termed Congress MLAs eunuch and impotent.
Shekhawat had said, “Rajasthan was insulted on the day when Shanti Dhariwal said that more rapes happen in Rajasthan because Rajasthan is a state of men. Behind him, Congress MLAs were laughing and clapping like impotent men and eunuchs when he made the statement.”
