Sharad Yadav Thrashed On Twitter For His 'Beti Ki Izzat Se Badi Vote Ki Izzat' Comment

Updated on: 25 January 2017 1:57 pm

Rajya Sabha MP and Janata Dal (United) President Sharad Yadav, known for his sexist, misoynistic comments, is again in the news for saying that the honour of a vote is more important than the honour of a woman.

Yadav said,"If a daughter's honour is violated, her neighbourhood and her village lose their honour, but if a vote is sold, it is the country's honour that goes. All our dreams for the future evaporate," reports ANI.

Immediately after Yadav's remark, another BJP leader Vinay Katiyar joined the JD(U) leader's club after he claimed that there are more beautiful women in BJP than Priyanka Gandhi.

Subsequently, Twitterati thrashed the leaders. Their comments were strongly condemned from all corners.

Pumpkin of the day: Sharad Yadav and Vinay Katiyar in close contest for their misogynist remarks. Guess some people never change!

Mother of ironies. Vinay Katiyar was actually condemning 'sexist' Sharad Yadav before he ended up exposing his own misogynistic mind!

Sharad Yadav says honour of vote above honour of daughters. This is why JDU honored RJD for votes compromising safety of Bihar's Daughters.

According to JD(U)'s Sharad Yadav, honour of ur vote greater than the honour of your daughter. Disgusting, derogatory condemnable statement!

Sharad Yadav's misogyny will escape the eagle eye of most feminists. Pity. He should be hauled over the coals. Instead? Silence https://t.co/3rzQO7PPYW
