"If you stand up for yourself and speak logically, patriarchy will not stop you from achieving your dreams," the finance minister told students in Bengaluru.
If patriarchy stopped women from achieving what they want in India, how come Indira Gandhi made it as prime minister, asked Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman.
She met the students of CMS Business School here on Saturday and discussed various measures undertaken by the Centre to support innovation as well as the government schemes available for young people, including the 1 crore internships for the ‘unemployable youth' in the age group of 21 to 24.
Replying to a question about women empowerment, Ms Sitharaman insisted that patriarchy is a concept invented by the Left.
