BJP Mahila Morcha held a strong protest on Saturday against the derogatory remarks made by Congress leader and minister Irfan Ansari on BJP leader Sita Soren. On this occasion, hundreds of women, led by State Mahila Morcha President Aarti Singh and Ranchi Metropolitan President Payal Soni, gheraoed Irfan Ansari's residence and protested.

During the protest, BJP women workers termed Irfan Ansari's statement as an insult not only to Sita Soren but to the mothers and sisters of entire Jharkhand and demanded his resignation. BJP Mahila Morcha alleged that Ansari on Friday hurt the dignity of not only a woman leader but also all the mothers and sisters of the state by calling Sita Soren "rejected maal".

State Mahila Morcha President Aarti Singh said, Chief Minister Hemant Soren talks about respect, but a minister of his government uses such language for a respected woman leader, and not a single word comes out of Hemant Soren's mouth.

She said that insult to women is not a new thing in Hemant Soren's government, but his silence on the shameless comment made on his own family member Sita Soren ji is shameful. This shows that those who do not have the courage to protect the honor of the women of their own family, how will they protect the interests of the women of the state?

During the protest, the women raised slogans against Irfan Ansari and demanded his immediate dismissal. Ranchi District Mahanagar Mahila Morcha President Payal Soni said, we demand a clear stand from the Congress. Congress should cancel the ticket of people like Irfan Ansari and the party should apologise.
