A Hindu godman’s orthodox way of beliefs has yet again come to the limelight as a video of a godman who believes that the cause of women being subjected to crimes is due to their beauty. The video has been making rounds on the internet where a priest can be seen site reasons from Mahabharat and Ramayan to substantiate the claims of beautiful women being subjected to crimes.

In the video, a priest named Gauri Gopal can be seen stating women being attractive is not a pro, but rather a con.

The video has been making rounds on the internet as many users came forward, enraged by the statement made by the godman, Gauri Gopal. One user came forward and wrote that these are the things that hurt the real sentiments. The user further remarked on the irony of how a sect of followers of Hinduism is tolerant towards such sexist remarks but chooses to draw a line at Amir Khan’s ads which actually promote equality between women, added the user.

Another user came forward and remarked on the sympathy of the followers who support and follow these godmen, implying how godmen such as these are promoting orthodox beliefs with the trope of being gurus of Dharma.

Another incident of a similar nature came to light when Hindu Priest Yati Narsinghanand, who is notoriously known for his inflammatory comments against Muslims and women, stated that the women in politics are mistresses of a politician. Narsinghanand further added that if the women are not mistresses of a politician, they are related to them, dismissing the autonomy and credibility of Indian women politicians.

Following the incident, the Haridwar police took cognizance of the case and went to file an official complaint and were remanded for his derogatory comments over the issue.

In TV speech, PM Modi attacks Congress, TMC, DMK, SP for blocking women's reservation

Prime Minister expresses regret over bill’s defeat, blames opposition parties and says efforts to empower women were stalled

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday addressed the nation following the defeat of the women’s reservation bill in the Lok Sabha, launching a sharp attack on opposition parties including Congress, Trinamool Congress (TMC), DMK and Samajwadi Party (SP).

In his televised speech, the Prime Minister said that despite the government’s efforts, the bill could not secure the required support in Parliament. He held the opposition responsible for blocking what he described as a significant step towards women’s empowerment in politics.

PM Modi expressed disappointment over the outcome and said that the aspirations of millions of women had been affected by the failure of the legislation. He also conveyed regret that the government’s attempt to ensure greater representation for women in legislatures could not be realised.

The Prime Minister criticised opposition parties for what he indicated was a lack of commitment to women’s empowerment, alleging that political considerations had taken precedence over progress. He urged the public to recognise what he described as an “anti-women” stance taken by those opposing the bill.

The proposed legislation aimed to provide 33% reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies, a long-pending reform intended to increase female representation in governance. Its failure marks a significant political setback and has intensified the confrontation between the ruling government and opposition parties.

Reaffirming his government’s commitment, Modi said efforts to strengthen the role of women in politics would continue, despite the setback.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to address the nation at 8:30 pm on Saturday, April 18, in a development that has drawn significant attention across political and public circles.

According to official information, there is no clarity yet on the subject of the address. The Prime Minister’s Office has not disclosed the agenda, leading to speculation about the key issues that may be discussed.

The announcement comes shortly after a major legislative development in Parliament, where a proposed constitutional amendment linked to the women’s quota law failed to pass the Lok Sabha following a division of votes.

Earlier, the Prime Minister had appealed to Members of Parliament to support the amendment, emphasising that millions of women across the country were closely watching the proceedings and decisions taken by lawmakers.

While the timing of the address has been confirmed, officials have not indicated whether the speech will focus on political developments, governance issues, or broader national concerns.

The Prime Minister’s national addresses are typically used to communicate key policy decisions or respond to important developments, making this announcement one to watch closely.

Priyanka Gandhi alleges conspiracy to rule forever after women’s quota bill fails Lok Sabha test

Priyanka Gandhi termed the failure of the women’s quota bill a victory for democracy while alleging it was a political strategy by the Centre.

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Friday sharply criticised the Centre after the women’s quota amendment bill failed to pass in the Lok Sabha, alleging it was part of a “conspiracy to rule forever.”

Addressing a press conference, she claimed the government had attempted to use the legislation for political advantage rather than genuine women’s empowerment. According to her, the strategy was designed in a way that the ruling side would benefit regardless of the outcome.

She argued that if the bill had been passed, the government would have claimed credit, and if it failed, it would portray opposition parties as being against women’s rights.

Calling the development a “victory for democracy,” she said the failure of the constitutional amendment stopped what she described as an attempt to weaken democratic institutions and alter the federal structure.

The bill required a two-thirds majority to pass but fell short in the Lok Sabha, with 298 members voting in favour and 230 against.

The proposed amendment was linked to broader changes, including delimitation of constituencies, which became a key point of contention between the government and opposition parties. Critics argued that tying women’s reservation to delimitation raised concerns about political advantage and representation balance.

Priyanka Gandhi also described the day as a setback for the ruling alliance, saying it reflected resistance from opposition parties and highlighted concerns over the bill’s structure and intent.

Despite opposing the amendment in its current form, she reiterated support for women’s reservation and called for its implementation without conditions that could delay or complicate the process.
