Reflecting the mindset of most of the male parliamentarian, JDU leader Sharad Yadav made a weird comment in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday while debating on the anti-rape bill.
He said stalking women in India is a norm and this is the only way to approach women to talk.
“Kaun hai hum me se jisne peechha nahi kiya hai. Aur jab mahila se baat karni hoti hai tab pehal mahila nahi karti hai, pehal toh hamein hi karna hoti hai. Koshish toh hamein hi karni padti hai. Pyaar se batana padta hai, yeh poore desh ka kissa hai. Humne khud anubhav kiya hai, hum sab log uss daur se gujare hain, usko aise mat bhulo. Debate karao, long lasting changes pe nazar rakho. (We have all stalked (women). And you have to take the first step when you want to speak to a woman. A woman will never approach you; we (men) have to try on our own and have to talk to her her softly. This is the story of the entire country. We have experienced it ourselves. We all have gone through that age, don’t forget. We must debate (on anti-rape laws) and keep our eyes set on long lasting changes),” Sharad Yadav said.
No strange that Yadav’s speech was enjoying by his male colleagues at Parliament and sharing laugh.
