Cong demands apology from Khattar for his remarks against Sonia
The Congress slammed Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Monday for his "deplorable" remarks against party chief Sonia Gandhi and demanded an unconditional apology from him.
Haryana Congress president and former Union minister Kumari Selja said people would never forgive Khattar for the indecent language he used for Gandhi.
She also criticised Khattar for his reported remarks that "Haryana's men can now marry women from Kashmir" after the abrogation of Article 370 of the Constitution, which gave a special status to Jammu and Kashmir.
Mahila Congress chief Sushmita Dev said Khattar's remarks against the Congress president were a clear reflection of his and the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) disrespectful attitude towards women.
"We in the Congress are committed to upholding the dignity in public life, but as a woman,I take offence to the disgraceful remark made and demand an unconditional apology," she said in a statement.
