Shame: Modi Aide S Gurumurthy Thinks Kerala Floods Are A Result Of Women Wanting To Enter Sabarimala Temple

As the flood situation in Kerala worsens and heavy rains batter the lives of people across the state, Swaminathan Gurumurthy, the newly appointed member on the board of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) blamed women for the tragic situation.

In a tweet, Gurumurthy linked the Kerala floods to women’s entry in Sabarimala Temple in the southern state and asked the Supreme Court judges to rethink.

Earlier this month, the Modi government appointed Chartered Accountant Gurumurthy, who is associated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) affiliate Swadeshi Jagran Manch, on the RBI board.

The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet approved the RSS leader’s appointment as a non-official director on the central board of the RBI for a period of four years, an order issued by the Personnel Ministry said, PTI reported. Though the government faced flak for appointing him, the order was not reversed.

Gurumurthy’s vile statement reflects the method, style and way the RSS and its affiliates view and treat women. The fact that superstitious individuals like him are a part of the RBI’s decision making body, is a matter of shame and grave concern.

Twitterati slammed him for themisogynistic comment:
