"Does He Have The Guts To Talk About Hijab?": BJP's Attack On Rahul Gandhi
Rahul Gandhi's call to "smash patriarchy" has triggered a sharp political face-off between the BJP and Congress. BJP spokesperson Radhika Khera questioned why the debate has focused on Manusmriti and argued that patriarchy exists across religions, raising issues including hijab and triple talaq. Political analyst Sanjay Jha defended Rahul Gandhi's message, arguing that the BJP's response has unnecessarily communalised a broader call for gender equality.
The debate also touches on the Congress's record on women's representation, the role of religion in discussions on patriarchy, and whether invoking Manusmriti makes the conversation selective.
