Whoa. I missed this stuff in his speech. I just heard about the part that physical violence can be cured but you cannot heal the destruction caused by words. That's why I found his speech brilliant because I felt that Sapna had said a bit too much and it is easy to forgive but difficult to forget when someone abuses you.
I didn't know he said that women's ornament is 'lajja'. What crap. I strongly disagree. And I hate people who paint women this way. He also said, "Kyunki jis aurat mein lajja naheen----ASHLEELTA HAI" Holy Cow!! Again, I strongly disagree.
And here is why. I am a female and I am not modest all the time. On an average I curse and abuse 1-3 times per day. I abuse some of my professors (well, some of them deserve that) and sometimes life in general when things don't go my way. But, according to Siddhu, I should be ashamed of myself because women lose their respect if they are not modest. So, only men can get away with being immodest. This is not fair.
Second, I think ashleelta means obscenity but I don't think the antonym of modesty is obscenity. So, if I am not modest sometimes, then it means that I am obscene
In short, Siddhu is in dire need of a good speech writer in order to avoid these political bloopers.😆
