There should be one day dedicated to men, is Minister for Women and Child Development Maneka Gandhi's suggestion to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.


"The Delhi Chief Minister has taken so many initiatives. He should now start a Men's Day in the state," Gandhi said at an award function to celebrate International Women's Day today.

"International Women's Day is a very important day. I feel that it will be just if there is also one day in the year dedicated to men," she said.Gandhi was speaking at the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) Annual Awards.

She urged the women in the country to join the WCD Ministry's "I am equal" campaign on Twitter. "We should start by saying -- I am equal -- and I am sure there will be equality one day," she said.

Earlier today, Kejriwal urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to pull up those who "abuse" women and to take action against them.

Speaking at the same ceremony, Kejriwal made a plea to Modi to "unfollow all those who abuse and threaten women and take strong action against them"."When we celebrate one women's day, the rest of the days of the year seem like men's days. All 365 days should be women's days," he said.
