RJD faces flak over 'lipstick' remark by top leader

IndiaTimes Saturday, 30 September 2023
The ruling RJD party in Bihar faced criticism after a top leader made derogatory comments about women's appearance while discussing the Women's Reservation Bill. Abdul Bari Siddiqui, a close aide of RJD leader Lalu Prasad, made the remarks at a party function. The comments sparked outrage, particularly from the opposition BJP. JD(U), an ally of RJD, supported the call for reservation for OBC and EBC women but did not support the comments about appearance. Siddiqui later clarified that his remarks were taken out of context and not meant to insult women.
