Mulayam's shocker on rape: 'Boys make mistakes, why hang them?'

[somnath]

NEW DELHI: Samjawadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav on Thursday opposed the new anti-rape law and said that his party would change the law that entails death for rape.

Addressing a rally in Moradabad, Mulayam said, "rape accused should not be hanged. Men make mistakes."

Questioning the death sentence to three men who were convicted of two gang-rapes in Mumbai last week, Mulayam said, "Should rape cases be punished with hanging? They are boys, they make mistakes."

The SP chief further said he will support provision for legal action against those who misuse the rape act.

Mulayam's comments evoked strong reactions with other parties slamming him for his insensitive comments.

"We condemn Mulayam Singh's statement. There should be zero tolerance for rape and crime against women," the Congress said.

Slamming Mulayam's statement, Kiran Bedi said, "This statement is not just against women, it is against the society. The should be punished with no votes."

Its indeed shame that such people are in politics and more unfortunately people vote for them.

hanging for rape seems extreme. 5-7 years in prison seems more than enough. its quite absurd someone hanging for rape!

Hanging is only for repeat offenders. Its scientifically proven that hanged people have zero recidivism rate.

Mulayam, the kind of bastard he is, is saying people who rape, get caught and convicted, then rape again, get caught and convicted - should be given a sympathetic view as they only made a mistake, boys being boys and all that. What a turd!
