Men especially politicians and those in power have become so insensitive to atrocities on women that they pass shocking comments on rape vicitms. Politicians from all parties are of same breed and men born with arrogance show off each and everytime.
Even after shocking incident of Nirbhaya didnot change their ways. They thought that public anger will fade away with the lighting of candles. But they were forced to come with Nirbhaya act. But shockingly rapes increased even after Nirbhaya act.
Men became emboldened and acid attacks increased on women belonging to all age groups. Inaction on part of Haryana government which refused to arrest rapists even after they raped a girl twice, after coming out on bail and shocking rapes ion the national high way in Uttar Pradesh is leaving women become easy prey.
Comments from politicians are emboldening the culprits. Some of the political comments boil the blood of all right thinking persons.
Here are some of them.
Om Prakash Chautala, former chief minister, Haryana
“Girls should be married at the age of 16, so that they have their husbands for their sexual needs, and they don’t need to go elsewhere. This way rapes will not occur”

“One of the reasons behind the increase in incidents of eve-teasing is short dresses and short skirts worn by women. This in turn instigates young men.”

“Boys and girls should be married by the time they turn 16, so that they do not stray… this will decrease the incidents of rape”

Raj Thackarey of MNS on 2012 Delhi Gangrape accused who were from UP and Delhi
“All are talking about the Delhi gangrape, but nobody is asking from where these men came. No one is asking who did this. So many cases are slapped against me (for speaking against Biharis) but no one is talking about the fact that all these rapists are from Bihar”
Nanki Ram Kanwar, former Chhatisgarh home minister on rising numbers of rape in country
“We have no answer to this rising spate of crimes against women. Stars are not in position”
