The Haryana State Commission for Women has summoned Randeep Singh Surjewala, the Congress MP over his controversial remarks on BJP leader Hema Malini.
New Delhi: Political parties are at loggerheads, especially because of the upcoming Lok Sabha Elections 2024. The leaders and parties are keeping a close watch on their opposition’s leaders. A controversy arose after the BJP IT Department shared a video of Congress MP Randeep Singh Surjewala who made objectionable remarks about Hema Malini, while criticizing the Bhartiya Janata Party. Now, over his comments, the Congress MP has been summoned by the Haryana State Comission for Women as the latter believes that these remarks attack a woman’s dignity and are inappropriate.

The controversy arose after a video, shared by BJP IT department head Amit Malviya, purportedly depicted Randeep Surjewala making objectionable statements about Hema Malini while criticizing the BJP. The BJP promptly lodged a complaint with the EC, condemning Randeep Surjewala’s remarks as “vulgar, sexist, and disparaging.” Randeep Surjewala, however, defended himself, claiming that the video was doctored and manipulated. He asserted that he never intended to offend or demean the BJP MP.
The Election Commission, too, took a stern stance against Randeep Surjewala and issued a show-cause notice for what it described as “undignified, uncivilised, and vulgar” comments made against the actor-politician.
