The National Commission for Women, NCW has sought an explanation from Leader of Opposition in the Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly Kamal Nath for making offensive and derogatory remarks against a woman Minister.

The Commission said, it has come across several media reports where Mr Nath made the remarks against a woman Minister in a political rally in Dabra.

The Commission strongly condemned the irresponsible and disparaging statement made by the leader.

It said, the words used in the video are highly defamatory and show disrespect towards the dignity of a woman.

The Commission said, at a time when we want more women to enter politics, such disrespectful remarks against a woman leader, that too from a person holding such a responsible position is very unfortunate.

The NCW has also forwarded the matter to the Election Commission for taking necessary action.
