The National Commission for Women (NCW) demanded strict action against Congress leaders Supriya Shrinate and HS Ahir from the Election Commission in a letter on Monday.
Shrinate's Instagram post containing objectionable remarks about Ranaut has been removed from her Instagram handle. Ahir, state joint co-ordinator of Kisan Congress, also made derogatory remarks against her. The NCW said its chairperson Rekha Sharma has written to the Election Commission demanding action against Shrinate and Ahir.
"National Commission for Women is appalled by the disgraceful conduct of Ms. Supriya Shrinate and Mr. H.S. Ahir, who made lewd and derogatory remarks about @KanganaTeam on social media. Such behavior is intolerable and goes against the dignity of women. @sharmarekha has sent a letter to the Election commissioner of India demanding an immediate and strict action against them. Let's uphold respect and dignity for all women. #RespectWomen," the NCW said in a post.
Ranaut also hit out at Shrinate, saying that she has played various roles and every woman deserves dignity. "Dear Supriya ji, in the last 20 years of my career as an artist I have played all kinds of women. From a naive girl in Queen to a seductive spy in Dhaakad, from a goddess in Manikarnika to a demon in Chandramukhi, from a prostitute in Rajjo to a revolutionary leader in Thalaivii," Ranaut tweeted.
Shrinate clarified that many people have access to her Facebook and Instagram accounts, and someone from them made an extremely inappropriate post today. "As soon as I came to know, I deleted that post. Everyone who knows me, also knows very well that I can never make personal and indecent comments towards any woman. I wanted to know how this happened," she said.
