Panaji: The Congress on Thursday, has claimed that Mandrekar's comments reflect the "khap mentality" of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders, especially vis-a-vis women.

"Women are so interested in watching these serials, that once they start watching them in the evenings, they do not even pay attention to their husbands who come home after a long day at work," Mandrekar said while speaking at an awards function organised by the state Arts and Culture ministry in Panaji on Wednesday.
