Anna Hazare’s close aide Kiran Bedi has landed herself in a new controversy. There is outrage across the nation over Bedi’s remark that ‘small rapes’ and ‘assaults’ get more TV coverage than the corruption of 15 ministers that her former team was trying to highlight.

“I have read the files relating to 15 ministers who have charges of corruption against them, but the media never discussed any charges against even one of the alleged ministers. Look at the extent of discussions you have when a police officer or a government official commits a small rape or assault, but none of the media people discussed the corruption charges against any one of the 15 ministers,” is what is she told media persons at the Ramlila ground.
