MP Sule steers clear of her ‘saree remark’

As she came under attack for her remarks, Sule on Friday claimed that she was misquoted. At an event organised by the Nashik-based Fravashi International Academy Thursday, Sule had said that people think that MPs are discussing important affairs but it may not be the case always when debates are repetitive.

“When I go to Parliament, I hear the first speech, the second speech and third speech. Till the fourth speech, the one who is speaking is saying the same things the earlier speakers have said,” she said. “If you ask me what was said, after the fourth speech, I am unable to do so. We speak to some other MP. While chatting with the MPs, everyone is watching, the TV above is watching. People think the MPs are discussing (affairs of) the country,” she said. 

“If I am speaking to the MP from Chennai, you will say: Oh God, I may be discussing the heavy rains in Chennai. We don’t indulge in any such discussion. We discuss things like: from where did you buy your saree and from where did I get mine,” said Sule, who is friends with DMK leader Kanimozhi.
