Kirron Kher’s Comment On Rape Case Gets Trolled, MP Issues Clarification

Yesterday, during a media interaction, Kirron Kher addressed the Chandigarh rape case.

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.”
