‘Will break arm of any man who raises hand at woman’

-

MUMBAI: NCP MP Supriya Sule on Tuesday said she will “break the arm” of any man who dares to assault a woman in Maharashtr­a.

The Member of Parliament from Baramati was speaking in Jalgaon a day after a woman worker of her party was allegedly assaulted by BJP workers in Pune.

The incident took place on Monday when NCP workers tried to present a memorandum on LPG cylinder price hike to Union minister Smriti Irani during the latter’s visit to Pune. Referring to it, Sule wondered if a man assaulting a woman was consistent with Marathi culture.

“This is a Maharashtr­a of Shahu Maharaj, Mahatma Phule, Babasaheb Ambedkar and Chhatrapat­i Shivaji Maharaj. They always respected women,” she said.
