"The Prime Minister yesterday advised to keep quite on the incidents of rape and not make statements all the time. This is the same Narendra Modi who had talked of girlfriend worth Rs 50 crore and called Delhi a rape capital. People of the country are surprised at how Modi has got enlightenment all of a sudden," Congress general secretary Shakeel Ahmad told reporters.
"After jibe of Rs 50 crore girlfriend, hue&cry on rape incidents in non-BJP ruled states, now PM Modi says respect women and keep mum on rapes," Ahmad said on micro-blogging website Twitter.
Replying to the President's motion in Lok Sabha, Modi had yesterday said,"I appeal to our political leaders that we should not carry out psychological analysis of rape... Is it correct to make a statement always? While can't we just keep quiet. Respect and security for women should be the topmost priority of the entire people.
