Chief Minister Of Haryana Manohar Lal Khattar has sparked controversy by speaking insensitively about the rape. He was addressing a public gathering in the town of Kalka in Panchkula district.
Manohar Lal Khattar said that in 80 to 90 per cent of rape and eve-teasing cases, the accused and the victim know each other. In many cases, they know each other for a long time and, on one day, when there is an argument (between them over some them over some issue)an FIR is lodged, saying: ‘He has raped me.’
Arvind Kejriwal, The Chief Minister from Delhi, was quick to point out the insensitive statement from Manohar Lal Khattar.
अगर किसी प्रदेश के CM ऐसा सोचते हैं, तो वहाँ लड़कियाँ सुरक्षित कैसे हो सकती हैं? CM साहिब रेप को justify कर रहे हैं। यही कारण है की हरियाणा में रेप बढ़ रहे हैं और बलात्कारी पकड़े नहीं जाते, खुले घूम रहे हैं। https://t.co/Il6Fwgf1xj

बेहूदा बयान है ये खट्टर जी
आपने तो समाज की सभी महिलाओं को ही चरित्रहीन बना दिया हैएक सवाल का जवाब तो दीजिए खट्टर साहब क्या 5-5 साल की मासूम बेटियां भी घूमती है जिनका गैंग रैप हो जाता है
5से 10% तो झूठे केस मान सकते है
लेकिन आपने तो सभी महिलाओं के सम्मान को तार – तार कर दिया है— हरियाणवी (@RAW_Haryanvi) November 17, 2018

When things backfired, Khattar reportedly tried to put an end to this controversy and said
“I didn’t say sehmati (consent). I said people who know each other. That’s where rapes occur. I am not the only one saying this. There’s research to back it. There shouldn’t be politics into this”
Previously in 2014 Manohar Lal Khattar also said that women’s dressing sense decide if she’ll get sexually assaulted or not.
“A boy would not even look at a girl the “wrong way” if she dressed “decently”. If they really want and need to enjoy their freedom of choice, why don’t they just roam around naked? Freedom has to be limited. These short clothes are Western influences. Our country’s tradition asks girls to dress decently.”
Politicians and this insensitive statement have the old relation. Several shocking comments have been given by the politicians quite a few times.
