A BJP MP on Thursday said the rape of grown-up girls and women might be understandable but if someone does this to an infant, he should be hanged. He said rape of a minor is a heinous crime and those who commit such crimes should be hanged.
‘The rape of grown-up girls and women might be understandable but if someone does this to an infant, it is a heinous crime and the offenders should be hanged (barabari ya bade logo ke sath balatkar samajh me ata hai, lekin nabalig bachhiyo ke sath is tarah ka jaghanya apradh karma. Inko to fasi par latka dena chahiye)’, MP Ramesh Bais, who was also a Union minister from 1998 to 2004 during the NDA rule, said, referring to the rape case involving minor inmates of a government-run residential school in Kanker district of the state.
State’s main opposition Congress said assault on women, whether she is a child or a grown-up, is a heinous crime. Congress spokesman Shailesh Nitin Trivedi said, ‘The statement (of Bais) is objectionable and we condemn this’. Bais said the incidents like the one in Kanker happened in several places but were not reported.
