IMPHAL, April 3: The Manipur Pradesh Youth Congress Committee (MPYCC) staged a sit-in protest today here infront of the Congress Bhavan, BT Road, protesting against the remark made by Union Minister Giriraj Singh on INC president Sonia Gandhi.<\/p>\n
Speaking to media at the sideline of the protest, Phungyar MLA Victor Keishing who is the youth in charge of MPYCC said a Union Minister who had taken the oath to serve the nation cannot make such derogatory remark and is highly condemnable.<\/p>\n
He maintained that it was not a political issue neither an issue of supporting Sonia Gandhi alone but a great concern for the whole country for commenting such uncivilized comment against a woman which should not be tolerated by anyone.<\/p>\n
While saying that there was an issue of terming the North East people of India as `Immigrant`\u2122 and now `sexist and racist`\u2122 to a woman, he questioned the BJP government whether it is working for the welfare of the people or for differentiating and dividing the people of the country.<\/p>\n
Prime Minister Nadendra Modi mentioned his main motive is to protect and serve the women with respect however he is still keeping mum regarding the issue, he questioned.<\/p>\n
The MPYCC strongly urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take up action against the Union Minister for making such comments to a woman, Victor Keishing added.<\/p>\n\n
