PM Modi’s critics On Rapes, Lynchings

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, often attacked by his critics for a spike in incidents of mob violence and rapes, ripped into his political rivals for their effort to “reduce these incidents” to “mere statistics” and indulge in politics.

“Even a single incident is one too many and deeply unfortunate…. My party and I have spoken in clear words, on multiple occasions against such actions and such a mindset. It is all on record,” PM Modi said.

PM Modi’s critics, including Congress president Rahul Gandhi, have often argued that the Prime Minister doesn’t speak when leaders from his party are involved in rapes.
