BJP today disassociated itself from the statements made by one of its leaders, who said that women who did not stay within their "limits" had to pay the price for it.
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.
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)."
