In a sensational statement, Andhra Pradesh Women’s Commission chairperson Nannapaneni Rajakumari has advocated the chopping off of a man’s genitals by a woman, if required, to save her dignity.
She asked girls to carry pocket knives and be prepared to use them in self-defence, and to keep rapists and molesters at bay.
Known for issuing fiery statements and her straight talk, Ms. Rajakumari on Wednesday visited the King George Hospital to meet the two minor tribal girls, who were victims of a gang rape that took place near Tajangi under Chintapalle mandal in Visakhapatnam Agency on the night of May 20.
Speaking to the media, she justified her statement by recalling the latest incident in Kerala, where a 23-year-old law student cut off the genitals of a godman, who had allegedly abused her sexually for the last few years.
Lauds Kerala student
Appreciating the law student, the TDP leader said all women should draw inspiration from her and deal sternly with men who tried to misbehave with them.
Referring to the gang rape of the two girls from a Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group in the Visakhapatnam Agency, Ms. Rajakumari said that all efforts were being made to arrest the eight accused.
