The Haryana State Commission for Women has called upon Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala to appear before it on April 18 to clarify his remarks against BJP leader Hema Malini made during his campaigning in the state. The commission stated that the reported comments by the Congress leader have caused harm to the dignity of a woman and are deemed inappropriate.
The dispute emerged following the circulation of a video, shared by BJP IT department head Amit Malviya, allegedly showing Surjewala making objectionable remarks about Hema Malini while criticizing the BJP.

The BJP promptly lodged a complaint with the EC, condemning Surjewala’s remarks as “vulgar, sexist, and disparaging.”
However, Surjewala defended himself, alleging that the video had been altered and manipulated. He maintained that he never had any intention to insult or belittle the BJP MP. Meanwhile, the Election Commission adopted a firm stance against Surjewala, issuing a show-cause notice for what it labeled as “undignified, uncivilized, and vulgar” remarks directed at the actor-politician.
