00:00This is not like him. What is his name?

00:05Why should I take his name?

00:08You know him better than me.

00:12You should have warned me before.

00:16What an item!

00:30You read this in the newspaper three days ago.

00:43When Shivraj Singh will come, he will say,

00:46I kneel down, I lie down. He is a very good artist.

00:51This is... This is...

00:55Show some respect to Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan.

00:58Shivraj, go to Mumbai.

01:03Perform there. You will make Madhya Pradesh proud.

01:07Suresh Rajae is our hope.

01:11He is simple and straight.

01:15This is not like him. What is his name?

01:18Why should I take his name?

01:23You know him better than me.

01:26I find absolutely no justification that Kamal Naji can give for using such a derogatory

01:48word against a female political activist.

01:51For the life of me, I cannot understand why the Gandhi family chooses to be absolutely

01:55silent.

01:56And it's not the first time that a Congress leader from Madhya Pradesh has spoken so horridly

02:02about women in politics.

02:03I'm sure that you remember, Devijay Singh ji had called a female activist, a part of

02:08his own party and organization, Tanchmal.

02:11And now Kamal Nath's derogatory statement against a female activist who was born and

02:16brought up in a poor family and has struggled in life.

02:20And this is how you reduce her in public.

02:22And the fact that congressmen in that Sabha were extremely gladdened that Kamal Naji used

02:27such derogatory words is absolutely shocking.

02:50And I'm sure that you remember, Devijay Singh ji had called a female activist, a part

03:17of his own party and has struggled in life.

03:47And this is how you reduce her in public.

04:14And the fact that Kamal Naji was extremely gladdened that Kamal Naji used such derogatory

04:22words is absolutely shocking.

04:28And I'm sure that you remember, Devijay Singh ji had called a female activist, a part of

04:30his own party and has struggled in life.

04:33And I'm sure that you remember, Devijay Singh ji had called a female activist.

04:38I declare my resignation in the house just now.

04:59This is a blot on all legislators including Mensa.

05:05Yes, yes.

05:06This is not a house where men come in so that a woman's eyes can be blinded.

05:11The entire nation watched yesterday how this house was humiliated.

05:17If a woman was treated like this outside the house, she would have asked for police protection and she would have got it.

05:25This house passed the bill for sexual harassment at workplace.

05:30And we can't sit quietly and become a spectator.

05:35You cannot misbehave with a woman and get away with it.

05:39But just dramatizing it and saying, I will resign, this is a misunderstanding.
