New Delhi:
The BJP Friday asked its leader and Madhya Pradesh Industry
Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya to withdraw his remark that women
who did not stay within their "limits" had to pay the price for
it.
"The party does not approve of the remarks and dissociates itself
from it. The party has asked him to kindly withdraw the remarks,"
BJP spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad told a news conference here.
Vijayvargiya had said: "Ek hi shabd hai - Maryada. Maryada ka
ulanghan hota hai, toh Sita-haran ho jata hai. Laxman-rekha har
vyakti ki khichi gayi hai. Us Laxman-rekha ko koi bhi par karega,
toh Rawan samne baitha hai, woh Sita-haran karke le jayega. (One
has to abide by certain moral limits. If you cross this limit you
will be punished, just like Sita was abducted by Ravana)."
The remark of the BJP minister comes as widespread protests have
broken out all over the country following the Dec 16 brutal
gang-rape of a young woman in Delhi that led to her death 13 days
later.
