Kerala State Congress President Mullappally Ramachandran, who is known for making sexist remarks, has again caused uproar after he said that rape victims with self-respect will die.
On Sunday, Mullappally Ramachandran accused the Left government of deflecting attention from the corruption charges by relying on an 'adulteress' who claims that everyone has raped her.
&ldquo;No one can trust a woman like her. If you think you can get an adulteress to target us, people of the state won&rsquo;t believe it,&rdquo; he said targeting Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.
He added that a rape victim with self-esteem will either die by suicide or prevent it from happening again, reports <a href="https://mumbaimirror.indiatimes.com/news/india/rape-victim-with-self-esteem-will-die-kerala-state-congress-president-mullappally-ramachandran-sparks-a-row/articleshow/78982121.cms" target="_blank">Mumbai Mirror</a>.
&ldquo;If someone says it happened once, it&rsquo;s understood, but she says everyone raped her. A woman with self-respect would end her life if raped or will try to prevent it from happening again,&rdquo; he said.
His statement comes amid reports that the state police are thinking about transferring the sexual assault case lodged by solar scam accused Sarith S Nair against UDF leaders to Crime Branch.
When the issued sparked a row and Health Minister K. Shailaja called him out for the statement, he apologised saying his intention was ill-targeted by certain quarters. &ldquo;If my remark has hurt anyone, I am offering my unconditional apology. There are campaigns by certain quarters to depict it as anti-women, which isn&rsquo;t true,&rdquo; Mullappally Ramachandran said.
