Two virtually back-to-back statements from the bjp and rss today pointed to how the issue of rising sexual crime and violence is being politicised.
First it was rss supremo mohan bhagwat who told the crowds that rape is a western evil. Prevalent in cities and not in villages where Indian values hold sway
Ironically Bhagwat was in Assam where just the day before women in a village had publicly beaten up a man for alleged rape. And in Madhya Pradesh, a BJP minister Kailsah Vijayvargiya said rape is punishment for women who cross the limits of decency.
