New Delhi: Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot is in Delhi these days to protest against the Congress against inflation and unemployment.
However, while talking to the media, Gehlot has given a big statement about the incidents of rape in the country. Ashok Gehlot has said that since the Nirbhaya rape case has been made a law to punish the rapist, the incidents of murders after the rape of girls have increased. He said that the rapist thinks that the girl will testify against me during the hearing, so he kills her.
Gehlot said that since the law of hanging the accused of rape, there has been an increase in the murder of women after the rape. Let me tell you that Gehlot was speaking during the Congress protests against inflation and unemployment in Delhi, when he mentioned the Nirbhaya rape case.
Gehlot claimed that the trend of murder after rape has reached an alarming level across the country. According to him, the rapist feels that the victim will become a witness against him. In such a situation, he finds it right to kill him. He said that such a situation has never been seen in the country before.
Let us tell you that long ago the then SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav had also opposed the hanging of rapists saying that ‘boys are boys, boys make mistakes’. This statement of Mulayam was heavily exploited by the BJP in the 2017 UP assembly elections and even today, he continues to target SP by giving examples of this.
The strange statements about rape do not stop here.
In Karnataka, Congress leader and former minister KR Ramesh Kumar had said in the assembly that if rape cannot be stopped, then the victim should enjoy it. Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi was surrounded by people by making this statement of Ramesh Kumar viral on social media. After which Ramesh apologized for his statement.
