Yesterday, during a media interaction, Kirron Kher addressed the Chandigarh rape case.
Kirron Kher said, "Bachi ki samajhdaari ko bhi main thoda sa kehna chahti hun...saari bachiyon ko...ki already jab koi teen aadmi baithe hue hain uske andar...to aapko, beta, usme nahi jaana chahiye."#WATCH BJP MP Kirron Kher says 'she (Chandigarh rape victim) should not have boarded the auto rickshaw when she saw three men sitting in it' (29.11.17) pic.twitter.com/Daqe95rTIO

The statement didn’t go down well with the Internet users and they trolled her mercilessly. Post this, she took to social media to clarify her stand. She wrote, “I did not say it was the victim’s fault that the assault happened to her, I said it is terribly sad what happened to her, and I wish she had availed the PCR facility instead of getting into an auto rickshaw with the three men. I do not want to delegitimise the gravity of this crime, I want to mention constructive ways a tragedy like this can be avoided in the future.”

I strongly believe that women safety is an enduring and continuous process in our country. Yesterday, my statement about the gang rape in Chandigarh, was taken out of context and gravely politicised. Here are the things I actually wanted to convey: pic.twitter.com/6rpA0YvHnZ

Another user shamed Kirron Kher for blaming the victim.
This netizen feels that the MPs should keep their mouth shut.#KirronKher waah exactly what i was expecting from this nonsense women who herself a lady giving such statement.. Instead of giving assurance for women safety and helping the victim get justice she is trying to blame the victim for her own mistake. #Shame #ZeroWomenFreedom

I think @BJP4India can win 2019 only if their MPs just simply keep their mouths shut :-)#KirronKher #GirirajSingh

“So, the victim is at fault! It’s not surprising this is coming from a BJP MP @KirronKherBJP (that’s their chal charitra chehra) and the wife of @AnupamPkher who, with his pin drop silence, has endorsed death threats to @deepikapadukone (sic),” read this post.
