Congress's Hisar MP Jai Parkash has come under criticism after making a controversial statement on women, prompting the Women Commission of Haryana to issue notice to him.

During a public meeting in the Kalayat Assembly segment, where his son Vikas Saharan is contesting the Assembly elections, Jai Parkash can be seen, a video of which went viral on social media, purportedly making a derogatory comment on women, saying “If leaders can be made with lipstick and powder, then I should apply it myself. Why should I even keep a beard?"

Haryana Women Commission chairperson Renu Bhatia condemned the use of such language, stating, “We have issued a notice to Jai Parkash, and asked to submit a reply on it.”

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.
