Indian opposition BJP leader Sushma Swaraj call for suspension of Indian Army Vice-Chief, Lt Gen K Pattabhiraman for anti-woman statement
Media Release
Jun. 19, 2006

Taking strong exception to remarks by the Army Vice-Chief, Lt Gen K Pattabhiraman, that the force could "do without women", senior BJP leader Sushma Swaraj on Sunday demanded that he be suspended immediately.

"It is a reflection of the working of the Army and its mindset. If I was the defence minister I would have called the vice-chief and told him we can do without you, you can go," Swaraj said. "The mindset of Army officers is such that they would not create a conducive atmosphere for women to work in," she alleged. Since Congress president Sonia Gandhi is a woman, she should ascertain the facts from Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee and issue directions accordingly, Swaraj said.
