The Goa Pradesh Mahila Congress members on Monday protested in Margao against Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar for his "khoda pahad, niklee chuhiya" statement against Sonia Gandhi.
Addressing a poll rally at Kharkhoda near Sonipat on Sunday, Khattar mocked the Congress effort at finding a replacement for Rahul Gandhi as the opposition party ended up picking someone from the Gandhi family again to head it.
"Khoda pahad, niklee chuhiya," he said, using a proverb that suggests big effort but little gain. Literally, it means finding a mouse after digging a mountain. "That too a dead one," Khattar added.
Goa Congress women's wing chief Pratima Coutinho demanded that Khattar publicly apologise for the remark.
"The remark is shameful and an insult to women," she said.
