Shocking! Woman Congress leader molested on stage in Haryana | WATCH

In an awful incident, a Haryana Congress leader was reportedly groped and molested on stage in the presence of senior party figure Deepender Singh Hooda. Congress MP Kumari Selja condemned the incident and called for strict action against the accused.

Speaking on the issue, Congress MP Kumari Selja said that she spoke to the woman who was allegedly molested and demanded strict action on this.

"I spoke to her, she told me that some people were touching her and trying to remove her from the stage. We saw the same in the video as well and when I confirmed this with her, she told me that someone misbehaved with her. If something like this happens to a woman today, it is highly condemnable. Action should be taken on this," Selja said.

BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla also posted on X and termed the incident as "most shocking."

He said, "A woman congress leader was molested on stage in the presence of Deependra Hooda by congress leaders. Confirmed by news reports and even Kumari Selja. If women are not safe in Congress meetings in full public view during the daytime - can they be safe if Congress comes to power?"

"Remember Simi John, Sharda Rathore, Radhika Khera and many women who were abused by men in Congress itself or spoke up about "casting couch" culture in Congress. Where is Priyanka Vadra and Rahul Gandhi? No ladki hoon lad sakti hoon? Will they act on Hooda supporters?" Poonawalla added.

Saini outraged

Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said on Saturday that the Congress doesn't respect anyone, including women and this is their culture.

CM Saini also asserted that if they get an application in this regard, they will surely take action.

"They don't respect anyone including women, the poor, and Dalits. This is in their culture and DNA. If we get an application in this regard, then we will take action. Our government will take strict action and not spare anyone. Women are an integral part of the society," he said.
