<p style="text-align: justify;">Kirron Kher was at the centre of a Twitter furore after she rendered 'advice' to a gang-rape victim from Chandigarh. The BJP MP was referring to a gruesome incident wherein a&nbsp;21-year-old girl was&nbsp;gang-raped in an auto-rickshaw by three men.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Kher alleged that getting in an auto-rickshaw with three men was an act that defied common sense.&nbsp;Addressing the media, she said in Hindi, "Bachchi ki samajhdaari ko bhi main thoda&nbsp;sa&nbsp;kehna&nbsp;chahti&nbsp;hun&hellip; saari&nbsp;bachiyon&nbsp;ko.. ki already jab koi teen aadmi baithe hue hain uske andar&hellip; to&nbsp;aapko&nbsp;usme&nbsp;bethna&nbsp;nahi&nbsp;chahiye&nbsp;tha&hellip;I am saying this to protect the girls." (I want to say something the girl's commonsense, to all girls, that when there are already three men sitting inside it, you should not sit inside it)</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The comments received a lot of flak on social media from citizens as well as, from political opponents. Some of the&nbsp;popular&nbsp;posts that criticised the leader included:&nbsp;</p>

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Kirron Kher is right.<br />The victim should have bought a BMW and hired 5 armed guards.<br />Can't understand why more people don't do that.<br />Victims are such gareeb idiots.<br />They deserve 0 empathy. <a href="https://t.co/XdCodB7jU5">https://t.co/XdCodB7jU5</a></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Responding to her critics, Kher said, "I only said that times are bad and women should be cautious.
