Union Minister Kiren Rijiju revealed in an interview that Congress MP Shashi Tharoor admitted to him that his party is 'anti-women' in a conversation after the Parliament session.
During a photo op, Tharoor said that Congress may be anti-women, but no woman would consider him anti-women. Rijiju agreed with the assessment, stating that Tharoor isn't anti-women, but his party is.
This comes in the backdrop of a picture Tharoor shared, clarifying how he pointed out to Rijiju that no one can call him 'mahila virodhi' (anti-women).
The Congress MP had heaped praise on women, but contended that their progress shouldn't be linked to a 'potentially dangerous' delimitation.
The Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill to amend the women's quota law failed to pass in the Lok Sabha, with just 298 members voting in favour of its passage.
