The Trinamool Congress (TMC) on July 29 targeted the Center over the issue of women safety citing a case of a Gujarat BJP MLA allegedly raping a woman, a day after the BJP accused the Congress of hurling a “deliberate sexist insult” at President Droupadi Whispered.

Both the Houses of Parliament were adjourned on Friday amid uproar over Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury’s ‘rashtrapatni’ remark.

“Dear PM @narendramodi and @AmitShah. Look forward to seeing you both Monday morning #ParliamentMonsoonSession. Since you are ever so eager to raise issues of Oppn disrespecting #women All of us will be waiting. 11am Monday. See you then. PS If 56 inch can’t come, send #2,” tweeted TMC RS MP Derek O’Brien.

He also attached a news report about police investigating allegations of rape and illegal confinement of a woman against Gujarat’s Rural Development Minister and BJP MLA from Mahemdavad Arjunsinh Chauhan.

The TMC, in its official Twitter handle, too raised the issue of women safety referring to the same allegations.

“BJP Cabinet Minister and MLA @iarjunsinhbjp from Gujarat allegedly RAPED and ILLEGALLY CONFINED a woman. PM @narendramodi, where are your tall claims of successfully ensuring women’s safety, now? This is happening in your own home turf! #ShameOnBJP,” it tweeted .

A major political row broke out on Thursday over Mr. Chowdhury’s ‘rashtrapatni’ remark with the BJP launching an all-out offensive against the Opposition party, accusing Mr. Chowdhury of hurling a “deliberate sexist insult” at President Murmu and demanding an apology from Congress chief Sonia Gandhi.

In his defence, Mr. Chowdhury, who is the leader of the Congress in Lok Sabha, said he never intended to disrespect the President and that his ‘rashtrapatni’ remark was a “slip of the tongue”.
