Maharashtra minister Girish Mahajan on Wednesday acknowledged that commuters were inconvenienced due to traffic congestion during a large protest march in Mumbai, while also criticising the language used by a woman who confronted him at the site, reported PTI.

The incident took place in the Worli area during a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-backed rally that drew a significant turnout, primarily of women. The demonstration was organised to protest the defeat of a Constitution amendment bill in the Lok Sabha, which sought to fast-track the implementation of 33 per cent reservation for women in legislative bodies.
