Bengaluru, Apr 22: All India Congress Committee spokesperson Kushboo Sundar has come down heavily on the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi for not being able to punish those involved in heinous crimes in BJP-ruled States.
Addressing presspersons here, she said the nation had witnessed the gruesome rape and murder of an eight-year-old in Jammu and Kashmir temple, an 11-year-old in Surat, and an eight-month-old infant being sexually assaulted in Indore, all in States ruled by the BJP.
“Despite this, the Prime Minister has maintained a stoic silence. He should take his own advice that he gave to former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and speak up. While he is silent in India, he chose to speak in London saying rape incidents should not be politicised,” she said.
“In Uttar Pradesh, we saw how instead of filing an FIR against Kuldeep Sengar, BJP MLA, to ensure justice, they assaulted and killed the victim’s father in police custody. In Khatua, they stood shoulder to shoulder with the accused,” she alleged.
AICC communications convener Priyanka Chaturvedi alleged after Mr. Modi came to power, cases of rape have gone up by 63.79% and cases of attempted rape have increased by 35.31% from 2014 to 2016 in the country. However, the conviction rate for crimes against women has been on a decline. “The BJP is working to create a Mahila Mukt Bharat,” she added.

Not only rapists.. Modi trying to protect all saffron major terrorists. anybody arguing that modi not tried to protect, then answer me for these -
Many saffron criminals convicted in terror and communal activity aquitted under modi rule.
Recenlty aseemananda aquitted in Mecca Masjid case, before aseemananda only revealed that he did such terror activities and now NIA found that no evidence...!
Aseemananda's many cases NIA closing one by one for giving complete clean chit
There are many incidents for NIA acting as a saffron tool
In Justice Loya murder case why Amit Shah not get arrested till now and they are making favourable condition by keeping saffron minded lawyers
If Modi and his bakths not the reason/responsible for the hike in numbers, then why modi scared of public? He came to power by boasting and public speeches, and after getting power he hardly faced public. And now he didnt speak on this shocking kathua rape inncident. And also at the same time he trying to protest those rapists.
It is baseless criticism that rapes are increasing under modi rule. Mr. Yogesh said the real reason behind this hue and cry after knowing the incident
One correction is there.. Under UPA rule rape issues were there much but not reported or complainted this much. Those issues are became unknown. Either girl hesitated to complain or there is no much evidence for that.
People and media not thinking about this and unwantedly blaming Modi rule
Every where rape issues.. Daily I am reading atleast 3 rape issues..
