It has been an usual practice for politicians to make stupid comments on crime against women in India and freshly, Governor of Uttar Pradesh has made familiar statements. On Monday UP governor Aziz Qureshi said even if the entire world's police force is put on duty, rapes can probably be prevented only if gods come down from heaven.

The Governor's statement came at the time when the rapes and murders against women in Uttar Pradesh are increasing each day. It is reported that every day atleast three rape cases are being reported in UP state. CM Akhilesh Yadav  who is under severe criticism for handling the crime improperly has sacked Police officials and transferred few of them.

Earlier Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh has said, rapes are minor incidents and boys do commit mistakes. Yadav also vowed to change the law if voted into power. UP CM Akhilesh too made similar comments when a lady reported asked about rape incidents in UP. "You are safe... so why rake up the question?" said Akhilesh.
