Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot stoked controversy on Friday after linking murders to punitive action against rapists. The remarks have since garnered from netizens as well as the Opposition BJP.
"Due to the law on the hanging of culprits after the Nirbhaya case, the incidents of murder after rape have increased. This is a dangerous trend being seen in the country," the Congress leader said recently in the national capital.
The remarks have not gone down well, with many on social media platforms hitting out at the CM for "trivialising a heinous crime" and "advocating against death penalty". Others meanwhile backed Gehlot, dubbing his remarks a "progressive take on capital punishment".
