The founder of Patanjali and yoga guru Baba Ramdev is drawing flak on social media for his objectionable remarks on women.
At a yoga programme in Thane, Maharashtra on Friday, Ramdev said, “Women look good in sarees, women look good in salwar suits too, and in my eyes, they look good even if they wear nothing.”
Taking note of Baba Ramdev’s offensive remark against women, the Maharashtra State Women Commission issued a notice to him asking him to clarify his stand within three days.
According to the Indian Express, the commission has received a complaint on Ramdev’s indecent comment that violated the honour and dignity of women. Therefore, in accordance with Sections 12 (2) and 12 (3) of the Maharashtra State Commission for Women, 1993, the commission directed Baba Ramdev to submit a clarification of his statement to the commission office within three days,wrote Rupali Chakankar, chairperson of the state women commission, in a mail to Ramdev.
On the other hand, the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) on Saturday protested against Ramdev’s offensive remark about women. NCP’s women workers garlanded Ramdev’s photo with chappals.
Meanwhile, condemning his comments, Delhi Commission for Women chief Swati Maliwal shared the video on Twitter and sought Ramdev’s apology.
It may be mentioned that Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis’s wife Amruta and Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s son and Lok Sabha MP Shrikant Shinde were present at the function.
