Margao: The Goa Pradesh Mahila Congress members on Monday protested in Margao against Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar for his ‘dead’rat’ comment made to Congress President Sonia Gandhi.

On Sunday, Manohar Lal Khattar took potshots at Congress over Sonia Gandhi’s return as the interim president. “We thought this was good, to move away from nepotism (parivarvad)… But they spent three months moving around the country in search of a new party president. After three months who became the president? Sonia Gandhi. Khoda Pahar Nikli Chuhiya, Vo Bhi Mari Hui. This is their condition,” Manohar Lal Khattar said.

Condemning the ‘indecent comment’ made against Sonia Gandhi, Goa Mahila Congress led by its president Pratima Coutinho protested near Margao Municipal council office.
