Women 'gherao' Rahatkar over offending remark by BJP MLC Parichrak on wives of military jawans

Aurangabad, Maharashtra, Feb 21 (UNI) A group of women relatives of military jawans today 'gheraoed' (mobbed) Maharashtra Women's Commission chairman Vijaya Rahatkar at BJP office here over the controversial and insensitive remark made by BJP MLC Prashant Parichrak about the loose character of the wives of military jawans, posted at the border areas.
Addressing an election meeting in Pandarpur taluka of Solapur district recently, Mr Paricharak had reportedly said, "how are the wives of jawans giving birth to the babies, when their husbands are away for a long period of time?"
His statement sent a shockwave across the entire state, specially among the family of Army jawans, who are serving at different places in India, to safeguard the people of the nation.
