BJP lawmaker Surendra Singh who earlier rose to infamy when he blamed parents and mobile phones for the steep rise in rape cases across the country has once again invited controversy when he made the shocking comment that, “even Lord Ram won’t be able to stop it(rape).” The BJP lawmaker is from Bairia in Uttar Pradesh and he was addressing a public event in Ballia on Saturday.
“I can say this with full confidence that even Lord Ram will not be able to prevent such incidents. This is natural pollution, which has not left anybody untouched. It is people’s responsibility to treat others as their family, as their sisters. We can only control it through values, not the constitution,” Mr Singh told news agency ANI, when asked about the rising rape incidents in Uttar Pradesh.
The motormouth BJP lawmaker had earlier made statements like “prostitutes are better than government officers”
and had come lent his support of another BJP lawmaker Kuldeep Singh Sengar, who is in Sitapur jail as an accused in the Unnao rape case. He had said no one can rape a mother of three children.
“I am speaking from the psychological point of view; no one can rape a mother of three children. It is not possible, this is a conspiracy against him (Kuldeep Singh Sengar),” he told ANI, adding, “Yes maybe her father was thrashed by some people but I refuse to believe rape charge.”
