Jaihind told reporters in Rohtak on Tuesday “Is a woman’s honours worth Rs. 2 lakh? Be ashamed, chief minister ‘sahab’.”
“We will give Rs. 20 lakh to any BJP leader who gets raped by 10 people. Does woman’s honour have a value?,” he said.
Noting that the incident shocked the conscious of the nation, Maliwal said she sympathises with the anger and pain of her husband but not with his statement.
“I sympathise with his anger and pain but I do not sympathise with what he has spoken. I do not agree with his statement and I condemn it. I would suggest to Naveen Jaihind that it is okay that you are feeling angry but when you are in public space you need to control your anger. You need to be careful of what you are speaking,” she said.
