Meanwhile in another controversy which arises out of statement made by
Samajwadi Party MP, Naresh Agarwal, another social activist Urvashi
Sharma dispatched a complaint in this regard to Zareena urf Fatma
Usmani, who is Chairperson of U.P. State Commission for Women. She
demanded to take cognizance of sarcasm and use of derogatory words
showing utter disrespect towards widow community by Naresh Agarwal and
to get him punished according to law of the land.
In her complaint, Urvashi claimed that Naresh commented "In my village
there is a saying that if you ask a widow for blessings, she will ask
you to become like her," which is highly objectionable. She claimed
that India has been known for history of social reformers like Sri
Raja Ram Mohan Rai who worked for widows' welfare so that they are
socially acceptable like a normal woman. Even today governments run
various welfare schemes for widows. Even then, the attitude of a
minister of such stature using such mean and derogatory words towards
widows , thereby showing them in a most unacceptable way is not only
highly unwarranted under law but anti-social also.
Urvashi requested the commission to take punitive action against
Naresh Agarwal (for his anti social acts) as per the rules and the law
of the land. It may be mentioned that National Commission for Women
had also taken cognizance of Naresh Agarwal's statement and claimed
that the Commission will took up the issue with the concerned SP
leader.
