TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Union Minister Smriti Irani lashed out on Friday at Rahul Gandhi for his remark ”Rape in India” and called it deplorable that he should not play politics on rape, and asked his mother Congress President Sonia Gandhi to advise and guide him. She demanded a strong action against the former Congress chief and not just an apology.
Rahul Gandhi, on Thursday, while addressing an election rally in Jharkhand took a jibe on the Prime Minister”s pet project ”Make in India” and said: “Earlier it was ”make in India”, but now it is rape in India”. Speaking to the media outside the Parliament, Irani said how could the Congress leader stoop to such extent as to mean something like “inviting men to India to rape”.
Lashing out at Rahul inside the Lok Sabha, Irani said: “This is the first time in the history of India that a man from Gandhi family has the audacity to insult women and call for their rape. “This is the first time in the history of India that a leader is giving loud call that Indian women should be raped. Does he mean that all men in India want to rape women? Is this Rahul Gandhi”s message to the people of the country?”
