New Delhi: Even as the Samajwadi Party government in Uttar Pradesh is under fire over incidents of sexual violence against women, party MP Naresh Agrawal Monday evoked outrage among political leaders by saying that even a domestic animal can't be forcefully dragged away.

"Today, no one takes away even a domestic animal of other person forcefully. If someone takes a domestic animal forcefully, the animal is also not ready," Agrawal told Times Now news channel in response to a question about the alleged gang rape of a woman in Badaun district.
