Case against CT Ravi over derogatory remark belittling women
Bengaluru: A delegation headed by State Women's Congress President Dr. B. Pushpa Amarnath on Thursday complained to the women commission alleging that the Chikkamagaluru constituency MLA CT Ravi had made a derogatory remark belittling women during the Lok Sabha polls on April 14.
"It is a natural process in the parliamentary system to criticize the opposition party while seeking votes for a party. However, being elected by people, and being a responsible lawmaker, it is bad behavior to insult women," the delegation mentioned in the complaint.
While addressing party workers in Chikkamagaluru, CT Ravi compared those who oppose Modi with a phrase in Kannada, which belittles women. The state's major media has published about this on their Twitter accounts and websites, Pushpa Amarnath said.
Abusing women for the political purpose must be brought to an end by taking appropriate legal action against MLA CT Ravi, Pushpa Amarnath urged.

The woman alleged that once she complied, the accused began making obscene advances and tried to force himself on her. When she screamed, he allegedly gagged her, abused her and threatened to kill her before pushing her out of the room.
She said her complaints within the hospital went unheard, forcing her to approach the police.
Taking cognisance of the complaint, the hospital administration constituted a three-member inquiry committee, officials said.
Senior consultant (paediatrics) Dr Jay Kumar said, "The woman has levelled serious allegations against a staff member. Senior officials have been informed, and a departmental inquiry is underway. Strict action will be taken if the charges are proved."
Kotwali Station House Officer Chatrapal Singh said a case has been registered, and efforts are on to nab the accused.
