00:07A fresh political flashpoint has erupted between Congress and the BJP.
00:13One, over women's dignity and ancient scripture.
00:17Speaking at Pune's Chhatru Ki Goonj Youth Outreach Programme on August 22,
00:21Rahul Gandhi invoked the Manusmati's verses
00:24that a woman should remain under the authority of male relatives.
00:30Rahul Gandhi called the idea a shame.
01:11The leader of opposition argued the mindset to suppress women stems from the Manusmati,
01:17insisting women are not property but individuals in their own right.
01:22Rahul also accused the BJP and RSS of harboring a Manusmati mindset
01:28that continues to shape attitudes towards women
01:31and called for young women to smash patriarchy.
02:02The BJP has hit back
02:04sharply questioned Rahul's opposition to Women's Quota Bill
02:08and accused him of selective outrage,
02:11pointing out the absence of women ministers in Congress-run Karnataka cabinet
02:16as proof of hypocrisy on women's representation.
02:19Congress, Congress Party,
02:21Congress Party के एक एहम नेता ने महिलाओं और महिलाओं के नेत्रित्व के समर्थन की बात की है.
02:29मैं उनसे कहना चाहती हूँ विनम्रता पूर्वक,
02:32कृपिया प्रधान मंत्री जी की इस मोहीम को की देश की महिलाओं को
02:37संसद में नेत्रित्व करने के लिए
02:4133% आरक्षन का बिल त्वरित रूप से लागू हो
02:46इस प्रयास में प्रधान मंत्री जी का सहीयोग करें.
02:52What began as a call to smash patriarchy
02:54has now snowballed into a full-blown political slugfest.
