He acknowledged that there has been a lot between India and Canada on this issue preceding the remarks of the Canadian prime minister.

RJD leader's 'lipstick and bob cut' remark on women's quota sparks row

RJD leader Abdul Bari Siddiqui sparked a controversy after he said that women's reservation law would benefit those with lipsticks and bob-cut hairstyles.

RJD leader Abdul Bari Siddiqui sparked a row after he said that women with lipsticks and bob cut hairstyles would come forward in the name of women's reservation.
"Those with lipsticks and bob cut hairstyles would come forward in the name of women's reservation. The government should instead provide reservations for women belonging to backward communities," Abdul Bari Siddiqui said.
The statement has been criticised by several BJP leaders, including Union Minister Kaushal Kishore and MP Sunita Duggal.
"Women coming to the Parliament, after winning the elections, are not only keeping forward the rights of women but also the rights of the public and every common man... Just like the two wheels of a vehicle, women and men in the Parliament and Vidhan Sabha will work together to make laws for public interests," said Kishore.
"This shows their narrow mindset... Women are making a mark in every area... Giving such statements represents their rude mentality...They want women to do only household work and not contribute to the outside world," said Duggal.

Disgraceful: India's High Commission to UK after diplomat stopped at gurudwara

India issued a straong statement after its High Commissioner to UK was stopped from entering a gurudwara.

After Indian High Commissioner to the UK Vikram Doraiswami was allegedly stopped from entering a gurudwara in Scotland, India issued a statement calling the incident disgraceful.
The High Commission of India in London said that three persons deliberately disrupted a planned interaction organized by the Gurudwara Committee for the community.
"On September 29, 2023, three persons-- all from areas outside Scotland--deliberately disrupted a planned interaction organized by the Gurudwara Committee for the community, the High Commissioner and the Consul General of India. The organizers included senior community leaders, ladies and Committee members, and a member of the Scottish Parliament. They were threatened and abused by these elements. In an effort to prevent any potential altercation, the HC and CG decided to leave the premises shortly upon their arrival," said the statement.
As per the statement, one of the non-local extremist elements attempted to violently force open the diplomat's car door but the organisers intervened.
"One of the non-local extremist elements attempted to violently force open the HC's car door - a matter that will require suitable police consideration. It is due to the quick reaction of one of the organizers, who physically intervened at the car door, that a bigger incident was avoided. Multiple community organizations including the organizers have formally regretted the incident and have urged the authorities to take action against the culprits," added Indian High Commission to London.

UP: 17-year-old girl dies after hospital staff allegedly 'dumps' her outside and 'flee'

UP Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak, who handles the state's health department, ordered action against the private hospital on Thursday.

A 17-year-old girl died right outside a hospital in Uttar Pradesh's Mainpuri, allegedly after the staff removed her from there after treating her for two days.
A disturbing video shows the seemingly lifeless girl collapsed over the seat of a motorcycle as a woman accompanying her cries &ndash;- apparently on realising that the girl is now dead.
The authorities have suspended Radha Swami Hospital&rsquo;s licence and sealed the premises over the incident in Mainpuri's Ghiror town on Thursday. Her family said she was given &ldquo;wrong treatment&rdquo; at the private hospital.
The clip showed a man and a woman &ndash; possibly staff members &ndash; going back up the stairs of the hospital. They had apparently brought her outside up to her relatives&rsquo; motorcycle.
&ldquo;Tumne bahar nikal ke dal diya patient,&rdquo; a man is heard saying, accusing them of removing the girl from the hospital even before a vehicle was arranged for her.
The girl appears lifeless. Her back is arched backwards as she is seated on the motorcycle, supported by a man, possibly a relative. Moments later, a woman relative realises that the girl, now sprawled along both seats of the bike, is dead. No hospital staff is around.
UP Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak, who handles the state's health department, ordered action against the private hospital on Thursday.
