Congress chief is now facing a lot of flak following his sexist comment

New Delhi [India], Jan 10 (ANI): Twitterati slammed Congress president Rahul Gandhi for making sexist comments.
The Congress chief is facing criticism for his comment targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman over the Rafale deal. Twitterati went all out in their condemnation of Rahul Gandhi with the hashtag 'Be A Man' trending on social media.
The National Commission for Women too has issued a notice to Gandhi calling his remarks "pathetic, sexist and misogynistic". The NCW chairperson Rekha Sharma has also sought Gandhi's apology in the matter.
Here's what twitteratti said:

Smriti Irani too tweeted on Rahul with the hashtag #MisogynistRahul, while her colleague Union Minister Sushma Swaraj took to twitter to write that Gandhi's comments mark a "new low" in Indian politics.
However, actor-director Prakash Raj came out in defence of the Congres chief saying that Rahul Gandhi's statement should be looked from a different angle too. (ANI)
