BJP MP Blames Women for Not Fighting Back During Pahalgam Attack

At a time when the nation is still recovering from the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 innocent lives, senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Rajya Sabha MP Ramchandra Jangra has stirred up a storm, saying women relatives of the victims should have fought back the terrorists instead of folding their hands.

“Wahan (in Pahalgam) par jo hamari veerangnay behne thee, jinki maang ka sindoor chheen liya gaya, Veerangna ka



bhaav nahin tha, josh nahin tha, jazba nahin tha, dil nahin tha, isliye haath jod ke goli ka shikaar ho gaye. (The women, who lost their husbands, lacked the warrior spirit, enthusiasm and zeal. Therefore, they became victims of the attack),” he said while addressing a gathering in Bhiwani district during an event to mark the 300th birth anniversary of Ahilyabai Holkar, an 18th-century Maratha queen, well known for her bravery and administrative skills.
