On this Special Report, the focus is on the massive political controversy in Madhya Pradesh following derogatory remarks by Congress MLA Phool Singh Baraiya. The legislator claimed that ‘pretty women can distract men which can lead to their rape’ and further asserted that there are no ‘pretty women’ within Adivasi, SC, or OBC communities. Baraiya also made shocking claims suggesting that such acts against backward women are justified in certain religious scriptures, equating them to a ‘pilgrimage’. The report highlights the backlash from the Bharatiya Janata Party, with Chief Minister Mohan Yadav demanding Baraiya’s resignation. The incident gained further traction as Baraiya was seen with Rahul Gandhi during the latter’s visit to Indore to meet victims of a water contamination tragedy. While Rahul Gandhi has remained silent on the matter, the BJP has intensified its attack on the Congress leadership for harboring representatives who hold such dehumanising and misogynistic views against women and backward classes.
