The National Commission for Women (NCW) has issued a notice and summoned BRS MLC Padi Kaushik Reddy to appear before it on February 21 in connection with his controversial remarks on Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundarajan.

In an official communication to the MLC Kaushik Reddy, the notice stated, "the National Commission of Women has taken suo motu cognizance of the derogatory remark made by you against Telangana governor Tamilisai Soundarajan. The remark is outrageous and demeaning to her dignity".

"Therefore, take notice that the commission, in view of the above, has scheduled a hearing in the matter on 21.3.2023 at 11:30 a.m., wherein you are required to appear before the commission in person on the aforesaid date and time. In default, the commission may proceed to take such action as it deems proper" the notice reads.

BRS MLC Kaushik Reddy has allegedly used abusive language against the governor during the Republic Day celebrations this year. Kaushik Reddy criticised the Telangana Governor for allegedly refusing to sign a few bills that the Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) is demanding to be passed.

On January 28, BJP Saroornagar corporator Akula Srivani lodged a police complaint against the MLC Kaushik Reddy , accusing him of using abusive and unparliamentary language against Governor Tamilisai. Srivani said that it was unfortunate on the part of Kaushik Reddy to make objectionable comments against a woman who was the governor of the state.

She demanded that Kaushik Reddy be punished for his allegedly indecent remarks, saying that "leaders" should not act in a way that jeopardises women's safety, security, and dignity.
