Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan on Sunday advised the women in Uttar Pradesh to stay indoors as they aren’t safe under BJP rule in the State. The statement was made in connection with a video shot in Rampur that showed a group of men sexually assaulting two women.
Reacting to the incident, the SP leader said the law and order situation in the State was “not unexpected” and that women in the state were not safe ever since the BJP government took over.
“Molestation, misbehaving with the women, loot, dacoity, murder have become the order of the day. Before the Assembly polls, I had warned the voters of the consequences of voting for the BJP. I had urged them to keep in mind the perfect rule of the SP and the future of law and order. I had said if the BJP was given a chance, law and order will worsen,” he said.
He advised the parents of the girls to realise the “gravity of the situation. ... For the safety of your prestige, keep your daughters inside the houses under strict vigil.”
