‘MUST Change Narrative About Women’: Sadhguru Laments Remarks Against Kangana, Hema Malini – News18

Spiritual leader Sadhguru lamented the level of political discourse in the run-up to the Lok Sabha elections.

He posted on X: “In the last two weeks, the language used about women in the political discourse has included “rate card”, questions about parentage and disgusting comments about a 75-year-old lady. What is wrong with us? I request the media and influencers, please ban such people for good. We MUST change the narrative about women. –Sg”

Isha Foundation’s Sadhguru was referring to the comments made against Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidates Kangana Ranaut and Hema Malini.

The Congress has come under fire from the BJP over party leader Randeep Surjewala’s remarks on BJP MP Malini, days after party leader Supriya Srinate was embroiled in a similar controversy over her post against BJP candidate Kangana Ranaut.

In an undated video posted by BJP leader Amit Malviya on X, Surjewala was heard passing lewd remarks against Hema Malini. “Congress MP Randeep Surjewala makes a vile sexist comment, that is demeaning and derogatory, not just for Hema Malini, who is an accomplished individual, but women in general. This is Rahul Gandhi’s Congress. It is misogynistic and abhors women,” Malviya wrote on X.

The Congress replaced Shrinate as candidate from Maharajganj amid outrage over her remarks on Kangana Ranaut, BJP’s Lok Sabha candidate from Mandi. An offensive post was put out from Shrinate’s Instagram account with a derogatory caption and a picture of Ranaut.

Sadhguru recently underwent an emergency brain surgery at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital in New Delhi after suffering “life-threatening” bleeding in the skull.
