BJP MP Sensational Comments

New Delhi, October 02: BJP MP from Mumbai North, Poonam Mahajan has made sensational comments here on Sunday.

She said that every Indian woman, including herself, has faced sexual harassment at some stage.

She attended the Red Brick Summit at the Indian Institute of Management-Ahmedabad (IIM-A), Mahajan said that self-pity should not be the response to such experiences.

She added that, I used to take a train to my classes in Versova from Worli,", "I could not afford to travel by car at the time. But I did not feel self-pity that someone was looking at me in a disagreeable way. Every woman on this planet, especially in India, has faced that."

"Men can afford mediocrity in politics but women cannot." She said that mediocrity does not suit women. "We need strength and we have shown that," she also said.

At last she added that, Every Indian woman has had remarks passed about her or has been touched inappropriately."

"We connect goddesses to every aspect of life. In some respects, we are ahead of America," Mahajan said. "They do not have a woman president. But in India, women have assumed the role of President, Prime Minister, defence minister, and chief ministers. These leaders have broken the glass ceiling. It is up to us to continue that tradition. It is up to us not to harbour self-pity. If someone harasses you, slap him and don't think why he did that."
