Digital Desk: Sattar, a member of the Balasahebanchi Shiv Sena under the leadership of Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, claimed he did not make any comments disparaging women. Eknath Khadse, another NCP politician, criticised Sattar's remarks and suggested that the chief minister teach the agriculture minister some manners.
In response to criticism, Sattar apologised if his statement offended anyone but insisted that he did not make any remarks about Sule, the daughter of NCP leader Sharad Pawar. According to Sattar, a member of the Balasahebanchi Shiv Sena, which is run by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, he did not utter any remarks derogatory about women. When reporters questioned Sattar about the "khoke" (boxes of money) jibe, Sattar, who represents the Sillod constituency in the Aurangabad district, allegedly used a disparaging phrase alluding to Sule.
Workers for the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) protested outside the home of Maharashtra Agriculture Minister Abdul Sattar on Monday, claiming he used derogatory language towards NCP MP Supriya Sule.
Shiv Sena leaders (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) frequently make fun
of the Eknath Shinde-aligned MLAs with the remark, "40 khoke," which
alludes to a supposed exchange of money when they rebelled against Shiv Sena
leadership. Sattar must quit, according to NCP leader Vidya Chavan, or he would
lose his freedom to move across the state. Eknath Khadse, another NCP
politician, criticised Sattar's remarks and suggested that the chief minister
teach the agriculture minister some manners.
