Digital Desk: In a recent incident highlighting gender-based discrimination in Indian politics, badminton star Saina Nehwal has vehemently condemned the sexist remark made by veteran Congress leader Shamanur Shivashankarappa towards Gayatri Siddeshwara, a BJP candidate from Davangere constituency in Karnataka.

Shivashankarappa's derogatory comment suggesting that Gayatri, the wife of former Union Minister Siddeshwara GM, should confine herself to the kitchen sparked widespread outrage. Nehwal, expressing her disdain, took to social media to denounce such regressive attitudes, emphasizing the need for gender equality and respect.

Nehwal's response not only criticizes the individual remark but also underscores the broader societal condemnation of sexist attitudes. It highlights the responsibility of political leaders to uphold principles of inclusivity and respect, particularly towards women in public discourse.

This incident reignites crucial discussions on the treatment of women in politics and society at large. It underscores the urgent need for a cultural shift towards more inclusive and respectful attitudes, with political leaders leading by example. In a modern democracy, such sexist remarks have no place, and Nehwal's stance serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggle for gender equality.
