BJP MP Sonal Mansingh on March 8, Monday, put forward a demand on the floor of the Rajya Sabha that just like International Women's Day, the world should also celebrate Men's Day. For the unversed, March 8 is observed as Women's day worldwide.

Finding only women’s narrative problematic, Mansingh also requested that a date needs to be set for celebrating men as well.

Addressing the floor on the occasion, Mansingh stated, "I demand that International Men's Day should also be celebrated." As some of her fellow parliamentarians chuckled following the statement, the renowned dancer upheld that the world anyway talks about and needs equality.

Wrong time to bring it up. Did she not know about November 19, or is it simply not done in India?

I don't agree with her position. Even if she asked the question in good faith(I don't think she did, politicians here are trash), there's a time and a place for fighting for our cause. It is not on international women's day where we celebrate women. She was bound to get mocked, but I'm sure she'll be wiping away her tears with her hard earned black money.

But why he did it in that day and not 19 nov the real International Men's Day ?!!
