Smriti Iranis sanitary pad comment attacked

Wading into the Sabarimala temple entry row today, Union Minister Smriti Irani stirred the hornet's nest.

"I have the right to pray, but no right to desecrate. I am nobody to speak on the Supreme Court verdict as I am a serving cabinet minister. Would you take sanitary napkins seeped in menstrual blood into a friend's home? No. Why take them into the house of God?" she asked, inviting flak.

She was speaking at an event in Mumbai. She said that, once, she had to wait outside a fire temple, with her son inside.

The comments are drawing widespread flak. "Shameful comment by Smriti Irani. Is menstruating woman only a sanitary pad for this lady? When she has periods, doesn't she go out of her house? Doesn't go 2 her friend's place? Without periods, can there be babies? Horrible words reinforcing patriarchy and misogyny by a Minister!" a tweeple remarked.
