Congress MP Surjewala summoned for ‘indecent’ comments against Hema Malini
The HinduThe Haryana State Women Commission on April 4 issued summons against senior Congress leader and Rajya Sabha MP Randeep Surjewala for making “indecent” comments against actor-turned-politician Hema Malini during an election rally. The MP made the alleged remarks at a rally in support of the Congress and Aam Aadmi Party’s joint candidate and former Rajya Sabha member Sushil Gupta. Mr. Surjewala, in a post on his X account, however, said the Bharatiya Janata Party’s IT cell was in the habit of “distorting and editing and spreading lies” to divert the country’s attention from the Modi government’s “anti-youth, anti-farmer and anti-poor” policies, and the conspiracy to finish the Constitution. Posting the controversial video on X, BJP’s Mandi Lok Sabha candidate Kangana Ranaut said the Congress had opened the “shop of hatred” while it was talking about the “shop of love”.
