Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury

Unleashing a scathing attack on Choudhary the ruling party demanded an apology from the Congress party for insulting President Droupadi Murmu.

Do we still need to identify women in relation to a man? Can she only be defined as someone’s daughter or sister or wife or mother? Why do women who are immensely successful in their professional lives still referred to as mere relatives of men? Can we not give them social acceptance and embrace their individuality?

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman stood with other MPs with placards in their hands to protest Adhir Chowdhury’s remarks.

Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, leader of the Congress in the Lok Sabha, filed the petition in 2018, demanding a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into what he alleged to be a scam.
