Shiv Sena MP Jyoti Waghmare has filed a complaint with the National Commission for Women (NCW) against UBT Sena MP Sanjay Raut, citing his alleged continuous use of abusive language and public insults against women representatives.
Shiv Sena Rajya Sabha MP Jyoti Waghmare has approached the National Commission for Women (NCW) against UBT Sena MP Sanjay Raut, alleging that Raut has continuously used abusive language, obscene profanity, and public insult of women representatives. Jyoti Waghmare sought the registration of a criminal case against Sanjay Raut.
Sharing an X post on Thursday of an official complaint emailed to the Chairperson of the NCW at its headquarters in New Delhi, Waghmare alleged that Raut's statements and conduct over the past four years amounted to the public insult of women and warranted immediate legal action. "Shiv Sena Rajya Sabha MP Dr. Jyoti Waghmare has today filed an official complaint with the National Commission for Women (NCW) against the continuous abusive language, obscene profanity, and public insult of women representatives by MP from Ratnagiri-Sindhudurg Sanjay Raut," the complaint read. उबाठा गटाचे खासदार संजय राऊत यांच्याकडून सातत्याने होत असलेली अभद्र भाषा, अश्लील शिवीगाळ आणि महिला लोकप्रतिनिधींचा जाहीर अपमान याविरोधात शिवसेनेच्या राज्यसभेच्या खासदार डॉ. ज्योती वाघमारे यांनी आज राष्ट्रीय महिला आयोगाकडे (NCW) अधिकृत तक्रार दाखल केली आहे. संजय राऊत यांच्या… pic.twitter.com/RA8wRktZlC — Shivsena - शिवसेना (@Shivsenaofc) June 25, 2026
Criminal Case Demanded
Seeking strict action, Waghmare urged the Commission to ensure the immediate registration of a criminal case against Raut. "Taking serious note of Sanjay Raut's controversial statements and conduct over the past four years, MP Jyoti Waghmare has made a strong demand in her email complaint sent to the NCW's head office in New Delhi for immediate registration of a criminal case against him," the complaint said.
Impact on Political Culture
In her communication to the women's panel, Waghmare also expressed concern over the impact of Raut's alleged remarks on Maharashtra's political culture. "Maharashtra has a great tradition of cultured and ideological politics, but due to MP Sanjay Raut's extremely low-level remarks, this tradition is suffering a major blow," she said in the complaint.
Waghmare urged the National Commission for Women to take cognisance of the matter and initiate appropriate action against Raut.
UBT Faction Loses 6 MPs
This comes at the time when six Shiv Sena (UBT) Lok Sabha MPs -- Sanjay Haribhau Jadhav, Bhausaheb Rajaram Wakchaure, Omprakash Bhupalsingh Nimbalkar, Sanjay Dina Patil, Sanjay Uttamrao Deshmukh and Nagesh Bapurao Patil Ashtikar -- formally joined the Eknath Shinde faction on Monday, leading to the success of "Operation Tiger."
