Karnataka Congress MLA KR Ramesh Kumar’s misogynistic remarks in context of sexual assault victims sparked outrage on Friday with Women and Child Development Minister Smriti Irani demanding his sacking, even as AICC general secretary Priyanka Vadra condemning the lawmaker’s statements.

“…It is inexplicable how anyone can ever utter such words, they are indefensible. Rape is a heinous crime. Full stop,” Vadra tweeted after Irani and a host of women MPs demanded action against the MLA.

Irani said, “In UP, they give the slogan — ladki hoon lad sakti hoon. So let them first show the gumption to sack this MLA. It is shocking what has been said.” — TNS
