FM Sitharaman responds to a question asked by an opposition leader over how many women members Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has -

"RSS is a 100-year-old organisation committed to public service. They have asked why a separate organisation for women. At least there's an organisation keeping all women working together at par. And let me ask, how long did it take for Brinda Karat to get into CPI(M) polit bureau? She had to fight her way in, and now you are talking about RSS and Sevika committee."
