Haryana minister Anil Vij has slammed the Opposition for attacking the BJP-led central government over incidents of rape, asking whether such incidents did not occur during the UPA regime.
"Incidents of rape did not take place during the UPA regime?" he shot back while responding to a reporter's question in Kaithal yesterday.
The state health minister was asked about the Congress' allegation that incidents of rape were on the rise during the BJP rule at the Centre.
"If such (rape) incidents are happening in this regime, then tell me about one case, in which the Haryana government did not take action," Vij said, adding, "The opposition does not have any issues now."
