Women can protect themselves if they have rights: Rahul Gandhi

Noting that there is no difference in the capacity of a man and woman, he sad, "Women do not need any protection. If you give them their rights, they can protect themselves."

"Women's Reservation Bill is in Parliament. I assure that we will not let it go. We have to do this 33 percent reservation women in Parliament and Assemblies. Political parties also have a responsibility," he added.

Gandhi said unless the bill was passed it will not be possible to empower women in all spheres.
