“Women are a central and driving force in our national imagination, in our national perspective. All of us, every single one in this room, has been influenced, drawn, learnt a lot from women in our lives, be it mothers, sisters and wives," the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha said.

“Of course, Prime Minister and I don’t have that wife issue. So we don’t get that input. We have our mothers and sisters for that," he quipped, drawing laughter from MPs in the House.
