Speaking in the Rajya Sabha, Jaya takes a dig at Modi government over cow protection, Jaya Bachchan said the ruling party is busy in protecting cows, while women are being exploited.

“The government must take steps for protection of women aggressively. You are protecting cows, but atrocities are being committed on women,” said visibly angry Jaya Bachchan in the Upper House of the Parliament.

Referring to a BJP’s activist Rs 11 lakh bounty on Mamata Banerjee’s head, Jaya said, “how can such a statement be made against a woman chief minister? The environment is already unsafe for women.”

NDTV has shared the footage on their Facebook page and we have got it just for you.

Jaya’s angry statements come on the back of a video showing Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha member Yogesh Varshney threatening the West Bengal Chief Minister and calling her a demon.

He accused Banerjee of orchestrating a police crackdown on a Hanuman Jayanti rally in Birbhum, alleging that people were beaten up in a lathi-charge by the police. He said the video made him feel, “if anyone gets me Mamata Banerjee’s head I will give them 11 lakh.”
