In reply to question on patriarchy, Sitharaman cites Indira Gandhi's example
Saturday, 9 November 2024 India's Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman, refuted claims that patriarchy hinders women's progress, citing Indira Gandhi's prime ministership as evidence. She highlighted government initiatives like internships for youth and support for MSMEs and digital banking. Sitharaman emphasized the government's role in fostering innovation and supporting startups, leading to a thriving startup ecosystem.
As the Congress invoked Indira Gandhi's 1971 Bangladesh war leadership to criticize the Modi government’s ceasefire deal with Pakistan, senior leader Shashi Tharoor urged a clear-eyed view of history. Calling the 2025 scenario "entirely different," Tharoor said India needs peace, not endless escalation. He emphasized the importance of preventing protracted conflict, arguing that while retaliation against terrorism is necessary, risking national stability without clear goals is not. The comments mark a sharp political and strategic contrast to current government narratives amid rising border tensions.
