NEW DELHI: The
Shiv Sena
on Tuesday wrote to the National Commission for Women (
NCW
) seeking prompt and strict action against Congress spokesperson
Supriya Shrinate
for her "offensive and appalling
social media post
" on BJP candidate Kangana Ranaut.
Shinde Sena MLC Dr Manisha Kayande in her letter to NCW chairperson Rekha Sharma said, “I express my profound dismay regarding
Congress leader
Supriya Shrinate's offensive and appalling social media post about actor Kangana Ranaut.
In addition to being demeaning, Shrinate's remarks against the actor mirror the misogynistic and disrespectful culture that her party represents.”
In the letter, Kayande further said that Shrinate's remarks denigrate the actor's accomplishments while also undermining the respect and dignity accorded to women in public life.
“I request the NCW to take prompt action against Supriya Shrinate's inappropriate conduct. It is crucial that people in positions of authority take responsibility for their words and deeds, particularly when they reinforce negative stereotypes and disparaging statements about women. Her remark not only undermines Ranaut's integrity as a person, but it also sends an incorrect message to the people by normalising and tolerating disrespectful behaviour toward women,” Kayande said.
Kayande further in the letter said that irrespective of women's occupation, profession or ideologies deserve to be treated with respect and dignity and such remarks ought to be strongly denounced. “I am confident that the Commission will look into the matter and take swift and decisive action,” she added.
