‘Enjoy rape’ remark is inexcusable, says Priyanka Gandhi in response to a statement made by a Karnataka MLA.

After Karnataka MLA K R Ramesh Kumar remarked in the Karnataka Assembly on Thursday that “when rape is unavoidable, lay down and enjoy,” the Congress has come under criticism. On Friday (December 17), Congresswoman Priyanka Gandhi Vadra criticised Karnataka MLA K R Ramesh Kumar’s heinous statements on rape, calling them “indefensible.”

Vadra condemned Kumar’s remarks on Twitter, writing, “I completely reject the statement made earlier today by Sri. K.R.Ramesh Kumar.” It’s unfathomable how somebody could ever say such things; they’re unjustifiable. The crime of rape is horrible. “End of story.”

The Congress is facing backlash after MLA K R Ramesh Kumar declared in the Karnataka Assembly on Thursday that “when rape is unavoidable, lay down and enjoy.” Karnataka Assembly Speaker Vishweshwara Hegde Kageri may be seen smiling at Kumar’s disparaging statements in a video that quickly went viral.

The BJP sparked outrage over the comments on Friday, questioning Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s silence on the matter. “What is unfortunate is the Speaker did nothing when such offensive statements were uttered and even laughed,” BJP spokesman Aparajita Sarangi said of Speaker Kageri, who is from the saffron party.

Smriti Irani, the Union Minister for Women and Child Development, launched a veiled assault on Priyanka Gandhi over the Congress’ “Ladki hoon, lad sakti hoon” slogan today outside Parliament. “She remarked,” she said “This restricted mindset of a Congress representative has raised questions about the party’s leadership in Uttar Pradesh, which claims that “I am a female and I can fight.” If you have the fortitude, you should remove this leader from your party’s leadership.”

After receiving widespread condemnation for his disgusting comments, K R Ramesh Kumar stated on Friday, “If it affects women’s sensibilities, I’ve no issue apologising.” “Please accept my heartfelt apologies.”
