A callous Congress leader makes a Jibe at Rape Victim, by namo on 25 Dec 2012

As the outrage over the Delhi gangrape incident continued, the chief of Andhra Pradesh unit of Congress today courted controversy over his remark that women should not "roam" the streets in the night just because India got Independence at midnight. "Do we roam in streets at midnight as we got Independence at midnight? It would have been better if the girl did not travel by a private bus at that time," the AP Congress Committee President Botsa Satyanarayana told reporters here.

FIR against Gen by nihichsu on 24 Dec 2012

The government of Delhi State and the Union government are doing politics of the worst kind by filing FIR against Retd. General VK Singh and Baba Ramdev or any other activist who have taken leadership of the protest against the gruesome rape of the Para Medical student in a moving bus. Instead of taking stern action against the passive police force and sterner action against the culprits the governments of Delhi and Centre are trying to give it a political colour. God knows when we Indians will get the dignity and courage to throw out the corrupt Congress out of India.

So you believe that the gang rape of the women of India should not be protested at all. The police should be allowed to sleep when a sister or wife or a daughter of any Indian is being raped or gang raped. You are no less than a moron nay a beast to say the least.
