#PreetisTake# || “Women should not become ammunition every time politicians run out of arguments.” From Meloni to Indira Gandhi, two women from different eras were pulled into a political war. One insult was answered with another—but why are women still the punchline? #TTP# #WomenInPolitics# #GiorgiaMeloni# #IndiraGandhi# #IndianPolitics# #Misogyny# #PoliticalDebate# @PreetiChoudhry

Indira Gandhi famously ripped apart opposition in a national address in 1970 after the Privy Purse Abolition bill failed. But that's not the only place Peek TV's selective history lesson fails...

#WATCH# | Delhi | On 42nd death anniversary of former Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi, Congress MP Shafi Parambil says, "The whole country is paying tribute to her for the last 42 years.... Though the government tends to forget, those who are in power tend to forget; India cannot forget this. The one thing we will always remember is the way she courageously fought for our dignity. Not surrendering our interest, our name, our prestige, our pride before any superpower of this country, this world. She was very clear on that. We know what happened in 1971. So we miss such a prime minister in power where we always succumb to pressure from the international community like America and other countries. That was never done under Indira Ji. So we miss that kind of leadership that was brave and truly loyal to the country." On PM Modi's statement, he says, "The democratic process must not be seen as chaos in the country... It is our right to protest democratically. If the Prime Minister sees that as chaos, that means he is completely undemocratic. It means that he is trying to criminalise dissent. Dissent is not a criminal activity. We have the right to dissent that the Constitution gave us, the country gave us. For what has happened in the Election Commission, do we expect the whole country to sit silent? No, that will not happen. If he sees democratic protest as chaos, I must say chaos has not yet begun."

#WATCH# | Patna | On Congress leader Sonia Gandhi's remarks, Bihar minister Ramkripal Yadav says, "It is a significant development that Sonia Gandhi has now shared her sentiments with the nation—acknowledging that the Emergency was a mistake... No matter how much remorse Sonia Gandhi may express, the actions taken by Indira Gandhi’s government continue to cause such profound pain and suffering that they still bring tears to people's eyes... You dismantled every essential mechanism within the democratic system. Regardless of how much regret Sonia Gandhi or her entire family might express, the people of this country have not forgiven them, nor will they ever do so. The sins they committed—the crimes they perpetrated—can never be forgiven..."

#WATCH# | Hyderabad | Telangana State Government Advisor and senior Congress leader V. Hanumantha Rao says, "Leaders like Kiren Rijiju and other BJP leaders are making unnecessary allegations against Rahul Gandhi, calling him a tourist who travels abroad and returns to India. But they have forgotten that no other leader in this country has undertaken a 4,500-kilometre Bharat Jodo Yatra, a marathon foot march from Kanyakumari to Kashmir. They should understand this...Indira Gandhi sacrificed her life for the country. Rajiv Gandhi also sacrificed his life for the country...Making statements alone is not going to benefit anyone. Let them also undertake such a march..."
