Union Minister Smriti Irani on Wednesday questioned the remarks of a Rajya Sabha member that young women below 21 years want to get married as they have nothing to do, and hoped that the MP retracts her statement. During the Question Hour in the Upper House of Parliament, NCP leader Fauzia Khan asked how should it be ensured that girls are kept occupied in some productive work -- skill development, education and something -- which occupies their mind till they reach a marriageable age. The minister howevert took the exception to the remark and asked the MP to retract her position on the issue. Watch the video for full details.
