Independent MP Pappu Yadav on Thursday issued an apology following widespread criticism over his recent remarks about women in politics.
Speaking to reporters earlier this week, the Purnea MP had made a controversial statement suggesting that most women cannot succeed in politics without compromising. A video of the comment quickly went viral on social media, triggering strong reactions.
The remarks drew sharp condemnation from leaders of the National Democratic Alliance as well as the Bihar State Commission for Women, who criticised the statement as inappropriate and disrespectful.
Facing mounting backlash, Pappu Yadav expressed regret over his comments, stating that he did not intend to offend anyone. The incident has reignited discussions on gender sensitivity and the challenges faced by women in politics.
