Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot urged that the custom of ‘ghoonghat’ must be eradicated as the time has ‘changed’.
Gehlot attended the 20th-anniversary function of Ekal Nari Shakti Sangathan and inaugurated ‘Bahina Dooj’ programme.

“Society does not have the right to confine a woman to ghoonghat. When a woman is called Durga, she should also be allowed to contribute to the creation of the country. Now the times have changed, women have to move forward courageously. The government will always stand by you,” Gehlot tweeted.
समाज को एक महिला को घूंघट में कैद करने का अधिकार नहीं है, नारी को घूंघट में कैद नहीं कर सकते।
नारी को जब दुर्गा कहते हैं तो उसकी भी देश के निर्माण में भागीदारी होनी चाहिए…अब ज़माना बदल चुका है, हिम्मत और हौसले के साथ महिलाओं को आगे बढ़ना होगा, सरकार आपको हमेशा साथ खड़ी मिलेगी। pic.twitter.com/g1zKsm8WAG— Ashok Gehlot (@ashokgehlot51) November 5, 2019
“Also released a book, ‘Badlav ki Misal – Ekal Mahilayen, about how single women are bringing a positive change in the society,” he wrote in another tweet.
