00:00Look at the example of our Honourable Finance Minister.
00:03She wore a beautiful Sambhalwari saree on the day she gave the budget.
00:07I want to bring to the notice that there is a gentleman, can't call him gentleman,
00:14member of the MLA of BJP from Karnataka has today said,
00:19rapes increasing because of women's clothing.
00:23Sir, I repeat, rapes are increasing because of women's clothing.
00:30Even if they wear different clothes, they will face problems.
00:33They will do moral policing and thought policing.
00:36I actually urge the Honourable, because the Honourable Minister is elected from Karnataka,
00:43I would ask her for justice.
00:45I hope she will intervene.
00:47Whoever that MLA is, this must be condemned.
00:50And I request this entire house,
00:55we should not tolerate any such thing.
00:57Unanimously, this house must condemn.
01:00If any man is saying that women get raped because of their clothes,
01:04I think it's shameful, it's condemnable.
01:06We have daughters, we are very proud.
01:08Look at the example of our Honourable Finance Minister.
01:11She wore a beautiful Sambhalwari saree on the day she gave the budget.
01:15How dignified she looked from that orissa.
01:18It was a beautiful handloom saree.
01:19We all take pride in our Indian clothing.
01:22How does it matter?
01:23We don't judge each other on clothing.
01:24As a matter of fact, I want to compliment her
01:26because they were increasing handloom to 12% GST.
01:29She brought it down to 5%.
01:32I thank you on behalf of all the weavers of this country, which I am very proud of.
01:36We are very proud of our Indian traditions.
01:38But if any man in this country is going to demean women like this,
01:43we all in one voice, all the members must raise it and say no to this, sir.
