Priya Mani also tweeted about being called "anti-Indian" by some.
Jisha was a 28-year-old LLB student who was allegedly subjected to rape and brutal assault before being murdered in Perumbavoor of Ernakulam district.
The crime has been dubbed as 'Kerala's Nirbhaya' for its chilling similarities to the gangrape incident of a paramedic student in Delhi in 2012.

These are not anti India statements, but view it as feeling of expression on helpless situation.. Amir khan also expressed same feelings....Mothers express such words towards their children , if they are frustrated by saying \ I will throw you out of my home' or ' I will throw you to fox' etc ... nobody feel any mother will do such things to her child...."
She just told women to leave india for safer life. Many raised voice against her.
What about those money mongers, who study in india with tax payers money in reputed colleges when becomes Engineer or Doctors leaving India for the sake of Money, Better living etc
I am strongly supporting Priyamani statements.
She is concerned about India...once it was good...now going bad to worst...very bad...sometimes our politicians are also supporting rapists...that is very very bad....law should be enacted to get highest punishment to criminals...should show no mercy at all....
Nobody wants to go out from India...it is a best country...it is our job to protest when there is discrimination happening around...criminal activity going unabated....no criminals should let go freely...
Making Money in india when difficult situation comes instead of doing it correct they want to go out of india, Such a Anti Nationals.
