New Delhi, Sep 19: All India Mahila Congress has termed the remarks made by Karnataka minister for rural development and panchayat raj, K S Eshwarappa, as sexist, cruel, and anti minority. National general secretary of the party, Apsara Reddy, referred to the statement attributed to Eshwarappa in which he had termed Congress MLAs dependent on Muslim votes for their survival as showing a kind of eunuch (Hijra) behaviour. 

She said that the above statement is also demeaning and disrespectful towards transgender community. She said that transgender community has shown courage to identify itself as having been belonging that particular community and they deserve to be accepted and given equality. 

She noted that the remarks made by the minister have hurt a group of people and asked Eshwarappa to understand that courage comes from expression of self and sought unconditional apology from him for his above remarks.
