'Deeply Shocking': Congress Leader Mumtaz Patel Slams Pappu Yadav's Remarks On Women Netas

Purnia MP Pappu Yadav has triggered a political controversy after making remarks on women in public life, alleging that many cannot enter or succeed in politics without “compromises” and suggesting widespread exploitation by male politicians. He further claimed that around “90 per cent” of women’s political careers begin in “leaders’ rooms” and referred to “CCTV footage” of netas as evidence of misconduct in politics. Reacting to the statement, Congress leader Mumtaz Patel called the remarks deeply shocking, shameful and derogatory, saying such comments against women are unacceptable and disappointing. The issue has sparked strong political reactions and debate over women’s dignity in public life.
