A day after Mulayam argued against death sentence to rapists, Abu Azmi wants rape survivors should also be hanged.A day after the Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh suggested removal of death sentence to rapists saying boys do make mistakes sometimes, another senior leader of his party Abu Azmi has suggested women having sex outside marriage should be hanged too. That includes even rape survivors.
Both Mulayam and his colleague’s goal is to highlight loopholes in the new anti-rape law, which is being exploited by many to victimise innocents also. But calling rape a ‘mistake’ and arguing that ‘rape can not happen without consent’ are absurd.
