The Bharatiya Janata Party on Friday launched a blistering attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in parliament over his 'Rape in India' comment and demanded an apology. Both the houses of the parliament adjourned repeatedly amid unrelenting protests.

Ruckus in Parliament as Women MP\'s Protest Rahul Gandhi\'s Comment

In a public rally in Jharkhand on Thursday, Rahul Gandhi said: "Narendra Modi had said 'Make in India' but nowadays wherever you look, it is 'Rape in India'. In Uttar Pradesh Narendra Modi's MLA raped a woman, then she met with an accident but Narendra Modi did not utter a word.”

"For the first time in history, a leader is giving a clarion call that Indian women should be raped. Is this Rahul Gandhi's message to the people of the country? He should be punished," Women and Child Development Minister Smriti Irani who led the protest said in the Lok Sabha. 

In response, Rahul Gandhi said he would not apologize for the comment and accused the BJP of diverting the country’s focus from the protests in the Northeast over the Citizenship Act.

"I won't apologize... Let me clarify what I said. I said the PM keeps talking about 'Make in India'. So, when one opens the newspaper one hoped that one would see news about it, but what do we see when we open the papers? We see so many cases of rapes."
