“If women are given power, they will destroy everything,” Yograj said in the interview.
“Indira Gandhi ran this country. She ruined the nation. Sorry to say this. You ask any woman to run a household and she will ruin it. Never give power to women. Give them love, respect, and honour. But if you give them power, they will destroy everything. I've seen it. If you give women power, they will hold everything for themselves,” Singh remarked.
His clips from the interview in which he says the above have already gone viral on social media platforms, and he is receiving a lot of flak for his views on women, amongst other things, in the interview.

“For our country, even if Yuvraj Singh had died from cancer and had won India the World Cup, I would have been a proud father. I still am very proud of him,” Yograj said in the interview.
