TMC minister Firhad Hakim courts row over 'sexist' remarks against BJP leader Rekha Patra
West Bengal minister Firhad Hakim sparked outrage by calling BJP leader Rekha Patra "maal" after an election loss. Patra condemned the remark as disrespectful and indicative of how the TMC views women. This incident follows a similar controversy in Maharashtra involving a Shiv Sena leader's derogatory language towards a female politician.
