Jaya instructed news company ANI in Hindi, “I felt so bad, I couldn’t see the entire video. I was ashamed. This happened in May, but went viral now. But, no one has said a single word in sympathy. This is about women’s safety. But you say things like we have selected 50 percent women for a panel.” She went on so as to add, “Hanthi ke daat hai (This is like Elephant’s teeth).”
She additionally stated, “It’s very frustrating. Every day something or the other is happening with women. In UP we don’t get to know what happens there, Yogi Adityanath Ji never says. What is happening in the entire country with women? Such humiliation. It’s very saddening.”
