"Wear a 'Bindi' first. Your husband is alive, isn't he? You have no common sense," he can be heard shouting at a woman vendor after inaugurating a fair on the occasion of Women's Day on Wednesday (March 8, 2023).



Reacting to the remarks, Congress' Karnataka unit said that Muniswamy's "insult is proof of BJP's anti-women policy".


"What right does BJP have to take away women's freedom and decide their dress? On Women's Day, women are insulted and distorted," Karnataka Congress said.
