Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan reaffirmed his commitment to gender equality, stating that both daughters and daughters-in-law hold equal importance in society. Speaking at an event in Jodhpur, Chouhan highlighted the invaluable role of daughters and expressed his deep appreciation for them.
“Daughter-in-law and a daughter are equal to me. The world cannot function without daughters. They are the most priceless gift from God. I love daughters with all my heart and always try to do something for them,” Chouhan said.
His statement comes as he welcomed Amanat into his family, referring to her as a daughter rather than just a daughter-in-law. The remarks reflect Chouhan’s long-standing advocacy for women’s empowerment and gender equality, which has been a central theme in his political career.
During his tenure as Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister, Chouhan introduced several initiatives aimed at supporting girls, including the Ladli Laxmi Yojana, which provides financial assistance to families for the education and welfare of daughters. His recent statement reinforces his belief in strengthening the position of women in Indian society.
Chouhan’s remarks have been widely appreciated, with many highlighting the need for progressive attitudes toward women in Indian families. His vision for gender equality continues to resonate across political and social circles.
