Crimes against women getting politicised based on identity of

Amid the outrage over the Kathua and Unnao incidents, Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman today lamented that crimes against women were getting politicised based on the identity of the perpetrators.

Addressing a gathering as part of BJP"s women outreach interactive programme called 'Karunada Mahila Jagruthi', Sitharaman said "You see every morning how such crimes against women are vitiating atmosphere. It is even more painful when that gets politicised."
"Crimes against women " who's the perpetrator, who"s not the perpetrator " based on that, agony is replayed and charges are levelled."
But does that mean that you don't talk of politics at all in the context of women? You do! You make parties which don"t mouth or make lip services for women in parliament, their emancipation or empowerment."
"If there is difficulty in preventing crime, the government should have stringent laws."
She said "We brought in an ordinance to make sure that the punishments are even more stringent."
The Union Cabinet recently approved an ordinance to provide stringent punishment, including death penalty, for those convicted of rape of girls below 12 years amid a nation-wide outrage over cases of sexual assault and murder of minors in Kathua and Surat and the rape of a girl in Unnao. """""
Taking a dig at the Congress government in Karnataka, Sitharaman said the government here failed to identify that such crimes have to be prevented with "methods which meets something."
