Mangalore Today News Network

Uttar Pradesh, Jul 09, 2018 : Uttar Pradesh Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) MLA Surendra Singh, who is known for his controversial remarks, on Saturday said that even Lord Ram cannot stop incidents of rape.

 

Speaking to media in Ballia, Surendra Singh said, "I can only say one thing that incidents of rapes cannot be stopped even if Lord Ram comes on earth. Such incidents are natural pollution of society and can only be controlled by inculcating good values in the society."

He further added the Constitutuon of the country can’t do much to stop rapes. The criminals can only be sent behind bars.

The MLA was asked about the horrific incident in Unnao, where a woman was molested by a group of people, and the video was made viral.

Surendra Singh is repeatedly making controversial remarks, which are continuing to embarrass the BJP.

He recently demanded Taj Mahal to be renamed ’Ram Mahal’, a statement, which was crticised by other political parties.

The MLA also came under criticism for comparing West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee with ’Shurpanakha’, the sister of demon king Ravana in Hindu epic ’Ramayana’.

Surendra Singh also supported the gang rape accused BJP MLA Kuldeep Sengar at a time when there was national outrage over the incident, which raised serious questions on the law and order situation in UP.

Defending his remark , UP BJP spokesperson Rakesh Tripathi said that, "The MLA belong to a rural belt and at times get misinterpreted because of his habit of not communicating properly. He meant to say that good values are very important to curb crime against women. The government is very strict over incidents involving women and we have taken a lot of initiatives to provide them better security."
