BJP’s Prem Shukla calls Congress spokesperson Priyanka Chaturvedi ‘slut’

In a new low, the BJP’s Prem Shukla, has called Priyanka Chaturvedi, a prominent spokesperson of Congress party, a slut sparking a huge outrage on social media.

In his tweet, Shukla had written, “It’s Congress and its ‘slut’ spokesperson who’s is feeling frustrated.”

Shukla was responding to a tweet by Chaturvedi. who while promoting a blog, had said, “The BJP is frustrated by one speech (made at University of California) of Rahul Gandhi.”

Shukla’s reference as ‘roopjivika’ literally translates as a woman who earns her living by selling her beauty. Chaturvedi protested on Twitter asking the BJP president, Amit Shah to intervene, but to no avail.

She then posted another tweet explaining that Shukla had called her a slut questioning the morality of the BJP as a political party and its respect for women.

Tagging both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Shah, she wrote, “Peak frustration level of BJP spokesperson calls me a slut in his tweet. So much for dignity of women @narendramodi ji & @AmitShah ji.”

Instead of apologising Shukla is using terms totally unacceptable for any woman. To apologise is Tehzeeb not to do do is Badtamizi. https://t.co/iSjkykGaq4
