Independent MP from Purnia, Bihar Rajesh Ranjanis popularly known as Pappu Yadavon Friday defended her comments on the Women’s Reservation Bill, saying “I will do anything to protect” women entering politics.Yadav, questioned whether he had done anything wrong for which an apology was necessary, said his stand was in support of the daughters of the country and if his comments had hurt anyone, he would apologise.“…What mistake did I do for which I have to apologise? To whom will we apologise? If any of my mothers or sisters come into politics, I will do anything to protect them. If any of our sisters who come into politics are hurt, we will ensure that all our daughters are safe and clean.” If despite this any person creating ruckus gets hurt. When I am fighting for my daughter, if someone is hurt by my conduct, what harm do I have in apologizing to them?” ANI quoted him as saying.Yadav also alleged that politicians, officials and capitalists are “feasting on the rape of 6 to 12 year old girls”, and suggested that his previous comments should be seen in the same context.He said, “The world knows that there is nothing left after the Epstein case. All the leaders, officials and capitalists are feasting on the rape of 6-12 year old girls. Should I apologise?…I will do anything to save the honor of my daughters and sisters from politicians and not hurt them. If I have to apologize 1 billion times, I will apologise.”Questioning those who issued notices against him, he said, “Who are these people who have served me notices? Who are they with? People who live in glass houses should not throw stones.”The comments come after a series of controversial comments by Pappu Yadav about politicians and women in politics, which drew strong criticism and prompted the Bihar State Women Commission to take suo motu cognizance of the issue.“Taking suo motu cognizance of this matter, the Bihar State Commission for Women seeks clarification from you as to why you made such an objectionable statement. It is also asked as to why a recommendation should not be made to the Speaker of the Lok Sabha for cancellation of your membership,” it said in a statement.On the allegations and action taken against him, Yadav said, “I have also said in the House that 70-80% of the leaders watch porn. So get everyone checked. If there is porn on my phone, then get me checked too.”Alleging large-scale exploitation in politics, Pappu Yadav said, “I had said that male politicians do not allow women to enter politics without exploiting them. Is this wrong?”He further claimed that his comments were meant to highlight the issues faced by women in politics, adding that he was “fighting women’s battles.” Responding to the criticism, she said, “Why are they (Women’s Commission) upset if I talk about male politicians?”Linking her comments to the broader debate on women’s representation in politics, she said, “These politicians exploit women, and then they talk about the Women’s Reservation Bill.”
