As tension is growing over brutal attacks on women in Uttar Pradesh, chief minister Akhilesh Yadav and his family have made a series of callous comments
Samajwadi party Chief Mulayam Singh Yadav did not hide his displeasure at the media spotlight over the gangrape and murder of two teenage dalit cousin sisters, telling reporters, 'You do your work and let us do our work.'
Under intense criticism over the incident, UP Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav on 4th June said a Google search would show such crimes occuring across the country while accusing the media of playing up incidents taking place in his state.
Now on 5th June Akhilesh's uncle and senior SP leader Ram Gopal Yadav explained that "vulgarity, obscenity and violence shown on TV channels" was to blame for the multiple incidents of rape and assault in UP. He also said, "In many places, when the relationship between girls and boys come out in open, it is termed as rape."
We should also not forget that few months ago Mulayam Singh, in a public meeting has said that “Should rape culprit be punished with hanging, they are boys, they make mistake.”
