While just about to leave the press conference, a student reporter remarked about the 'Pink Chaddi' campaign and in response to that, perhaps giving his own suggestion of how intensly to protest, Rahul said "If I were a woman, I would go to Mangalore and have a drink in a pub"
Earlier in the press conference, Rahul while speaking on the issue of activism in the life of college youth went on to mention that one of the biggest issues that concerns him is the issue of gender bias in the country.
Rahul also mentioned that he broke his nose almost a month ago and has had corrective surgery done for it. He also reconfirmed his decision of not being able to play Rugby for the Indian Rugby team anymore.
