There is no stopping to rapes in Uttar Pradesh and also to the insensitive comments by the ruling party leaders. Samajwadi Party honcho Mulayam Singh Yadav once again made strange statements backing the government in handling rape incidents. When asked by media persons regarding a rape and murder of a 32 year old woman, Mulayam replied, “there are 21 crores people in Uttar Pradesh and yet lowest number of rapes are reported.”
In April, SP chief drew outrage for his remarks like “boys are boys and they commit mistakes” and pathetically vowed to change Law, if voted into power. Thanks to the people for confining SP to only two seats out of 80.
The Congress party has slammed Mulayam's comments right away. Rashid Alvi said, “even one case of rape in a state, is a shame to the government,” while Shobha Oza said such remarks will encourage criminals.
