Mulayam remark row: Such comments boost culprits’ confidence, says Congress
New Delhi, Aug 19 : The Congress Party on Wednesday condemned the Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav’s remark that ‘gang-rape is impractical’, saying that a senior leader of such status should refrain from making such remarks as they only boost the confidence of the culprits.” Mulayam Singh has earlier made such humiliating remarks on the issue of rape. These kinds of remarks shelter the goons from consequences and boost their confidence. Senior leaders of such status should refrain from making such kind of remarks,” Oza told PE. The SP supremo had earlier claimed that when it comes to the number of rape incidents taking place across in India, Uttar Pradesh features at the bottom of the list.Mulayam, who was speaking at a program to distribute free e-rickshaws under a state government scheme in Lucknow, made the controversial remark that, while one person commits a rape, four are named in the complaint, though rape by four persons is ‘practically’ not possible.
