NEW DELHI: BJP MP and Supreme Court lawyer Meenakshi Lekhi , who successfully argued for permanent commission for women officers in Army, took issue with Rahul Gandhi over the latter’s statement blaming the Modi government for not supporting the demand of women officers.Lekhi said it was the Congress government which had argued vociferously against permanent commission for women in the Army in 2010 before the Delhi HC.“Rahul Gandhi, please click the refresh memory button. It was Congress government that argued vociferously against permanent commissioning of women in the Army back in 2010 before the Delhi HC. Decision challenged before the SC which ruled in favour of women. Mr G, it was your own government,” Lekhi tweeted and reiterated it in a press conference later.Rahul had earlier tweeted, “The government disrespected every Indian woman by arguing in the SC that women Army officers didn't deserve command posts or permanent commission because they were inferior to men. I congratulate India's women for standing up and proving the BJP government wrong.”Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra called the court order a “strong response” to the government which “showed a prejudiced mind” in opposing women’s power.Party spokesman Randeep Surjewala said, “This is a defeat of Modi government and its myopic thinking and thought process. The Supreme Court rejected all these myopic, backward, 17th century arguments of BJP.”On the other hand, Lekhi hailed the SC verdict and said PM Narendra Modi 's political will helped women officers fight their cause in the apex court."It is a fantastic decision by the court. The PM's political will has been implemented. Now, the court has implemented it and (pulled up) authorities which were not implementing it,” Lekhi said."PM made the announcement of granting permanent commission to women officers from the ramparts of Red Fort. After which the administration started framing the policy. Over a period of time, the Army has opened various branches for women and now is time they must be given promotional and pension benefits just like their male counterparts," she added.
