Ganieve Kaur Majithia, a legislator from the Shiromani Akali Dal, has demanded an immediate apology from Bhagwant Mann over what she described as derogatory remarks about women in Punjab.

According to Majithia, the comments were made by the chief minister during a speech in Ludhiana. She said the remarks were insulting to women and called on Mann to publicly apologize.

Majithia said that if the chief minister does not issue an apology, she will raise the matter with the National Commission for Women. She argued that elected officials must maintain respectful language when speaking about women.

The Akali Dal MLA also addressed a separate controversy involving Sukhpal Singh Khaira of the Indian National Congress. She said she neither supports nor opposes the controversial statement Khaira made regarding women.
