In Kalyan, Maharashtra, a 73-year-old congress leader became the latest victim of political intimidation — all for posting an image critical of prime minister Modi on social media. bjp workers forcefully wrapped a sari around the senior leader, publicly humiliating her as a warning to others.
Kalyan bjp district president nandu Parab justified the act, threatening stronger reprisals against anyone who “defames” their leaders. Meanwhile, if the roles were reversed and congress had done this, Godi media and bjp would have screamed about ‘Mahila Apmaan’.
The message is clear: dissent is punished, misogyny is normalized, and hypocrisy is rampant. Sanghis are misogynistic and hypocritical by nature, and this incident exposes it in blinding clarity.
1. Public Humiliation as Political Weapon
Criticism of leaders is met not with debate, but force and embarrassment, even against senior citizens.
2. Age Is No Protection
A 73-year-old, seasoned political worker, targeted for speaking her mind, shows that the BJP’s aggression spares no one.
3. Sari as a Symbol of Shame
Forcing a sari onto a political opponent isn’t culture — it’s coercion disguised as tradition, weaponizing gender to intimidate.
4. Threats Over Dissent
bjp leaders openly warned that future criticism would meet even harsher responses, silencing free speech through fear.
5. Hypocrisy Exposed
The same act by congress would be decried as Mahila Apmaan. When the bjp does it, it’s framed as discipline and protection of honor. Double standards, misogyny, and political violence converge.
6. Misogyny Normalized
Women are punished for dissent. politics becomes a tool for intimidation, and misogyny is a badge of political loyalty.
7. Democracy on the Edge
This is not an isolated incident. It’s a warning to all critics: question Modi or bjp, and face public shaming — even in your 70s.
🔥 The takeaway is savage: bjp turned a social media post into an excuse for public humiliation, showing the world that misogyny, hypocrisy, and intimidation are embedded in its political culture. Criticism isn’t debate — it’s a crime, and gender is the weapon.
