Opinion | Why politicians must change their mindset about women

Today I write with both sadness and anger about a senior Karnataka MLA who made an insensitive and shameful remark about women in the  assembly. The Congress MLA in question, K. R. Ramesh Kumar, is a former assembly speaker and state minister and has been elected from his constituency six times. He won his first assembly election 43 years ago in 1978. He was elected speaker of assembly twice and later became the state health and family welfare minister. It was shocking to see an experienced legislator making a callous, misogynistic remark.
