New Delhi: Former Kerala MP Joyce George on Monday (March 30, 2021) kicked up a row when he made disparaging remarks on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, he 'warned' girls that they should be careful when they go near him as he is unmarried.

The former MP made the remarks at a campaign rally ahead of the elections in the poll-bound states of Kerala. He had come in support of CPI(M) leader and current power minister MM Mani.

"Rahul Gandhi`s programs are held only in women colleges. He will go there and teach girls how to stand straight and how to bend. My dear children, don`t go near him and do such things...he is not married," George was quoted as saying by ANI.

The incident in question is when Rahul Gandhi was seen giving Aikido lessons at Kochi's St Teresa’s College last Monday. Gandhi demonstrated how one woman can resist being pushed by some seven others by using their energy to hold the ground.

Rahul Gandhi is trained in the Japanese martial art Aikido and was showing the move after a request from a student.
