At a women-only event in Pune, Rahul Gandhi said women must not be defined solely as daughters, wives, or mothers, and criticized the Manusmriti for prescribing female dependence on male relatives. He also attacked the BJP and RSS for allegedly wanting to 'cage' women, citing remarks by leaders on rape and women's behavior. Gandhi urged women to assert their autonomy and smash patriarchy.
