Samajwadi Party leader, Goa MLA blame fashionable women for rape

Mumbai: Political leaders are making one controversial remark after another against women even as the country seethes with anger following the brutal gangrape and murder of a 23-year-old student by six men in Delhi.

Now, Abu Azmi, Samajwadi Party MLA in Maharashtra, has blamed the women for rising cases of rape. Azmi said that rapes and sexual harassment cases were due to fashion by women. He said that such crimes were not taking place in villages as women and girls there were not indulging in fashion.

"Sexual relations between unmarried men and women should be made illegal. I agree that there are fewer rapes in rural Bharat than in urban India," said Azmi.

Samajwadi Party MLA Abu Azmi says that rapes and sexual harassments are rising due to fashion.
