Congress leader
Rahul Gandhi
on Wednesday questioned
PM Narendra Modi
about his silence on the controversy surrounding JDS MP
Prajwal Revanna
’s
exploitation of women
, and why he campaigned for the ally despite being aware of his deeds. Rahul recalled other sensational cases of rape and women’s harassment associated with BJP leaders and underlined that the PM never spoke a word on those incidents.
“As usual, Modi has maintained a shameful silence on the gruesome
crimes against women
in Karnataka. The PM will have to answer why, despite knowing everything, just for the sake of votes, he campaigned for the monster who has exploited hundreds of daughters? How did such a big criminal escape from the country with such ease? From Kaiserganj to Karnataka and Unnao to Uttarakhand, the PM’s silent support to the exploiters of daughters is boosting the morale of criminals across the country. Is being part of Modi’s ‘political family’ a ‘guarantee of safety’ for criminals,” he said.
