RJD Leader Under Fire For Sexist Remark: "Women With Lipsticks And.."

Senior Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Abdul Bari Siddiqui courted controversy today for saying women with lipsticks and bob-cut hairstyles would come forward in the name of the women's reservation bill, which was passed in during a special session of the Parliament earlier this month. Mr Siddiqui was addressing an event in Bihar's Muzaffarpur. However, he later sought to clarify by saying his party has been supporting the bill "right from the beginning", and he was speaking in 'village language' to make his audience understand. The RJD has, in fact, been one of the strongest critics of the bill in its present form, demanding a quota within quota to include OBC women.
