Sharad Yadav says integrity of vote bigger than integrity of daughter, NCW issues notice

He did not stop here Yadav continued," If a daughter looses honour, whole village gets effected but if a vote gets sold than it is the honour of the country that is lost"

Janta Dal (United) leader, Sharad Yadav on January 24 made a bizzare statement while addressing to the gathering of people in Bihar, he said ‘it is necessary to understand about the importance of ballot paper. The integrity of vote is bigger than the integrity of daughter’.

He did not stop here, Yadav continued, if a daughter looses honour, whole village gets effected but if a vote gets sold than it is the honour of the country that is lost. And the dreams that we have seen for future cannot be fulfilled.

Justifying himself over the statement that he had made, Yadav said he meant that’Love should be the same for both daughter and vote. I did not say anything wrong, the way you love your daughter in the same manner you should also love your vote, only then a good nation and a good government can be formed’.

National Commission for Women had issued notice to the senior JD (U) leader Sharad Yadav over his statement “Beti ki izzat se vote ki izzat badi hai” in Patna. Reacting on a satement, BJP said,’Sharad Yadav should apologize’. Election Commission should intervene in the matter, demands lawyer Abha Singh.

This is not the first time that JD(U) leader has made a controversial statement. In the past, he made a remark on women from a particular part of the country , he commented on the complexion and the body of those women.
He had said women in our part of the country are not as beautiful as South Indian women, their bodies are beautiful Also, they know how to dance.

His statement has created a stir and Yadav later apologized for the comment after refusing to do so. When the then HRD Minister, reacted sharply over it, he said to her, ‘I know what kind of a person you are’.
