Two virtually back-to-back statements from the bjp and rss today pointed to how the issue of rising sexual crime and violence is being politicised.<br />First it was rss supremo mohan bhagwat who told the crowds that rape is a western evil. Prevalent in cities and not in villages where Indian values hold sway<br />Ironically Bhagwat was in Assam where just the day before women in a village had publicly beaten up a man for alleged rape. And in Madhya Pradesh, a BJP minister Kailsah Vijayvargiya said rape is punishment for women who cross the limits of decency.
