National Commission for Women (NCW) Chairperson Rekha Sharma on December 17 slammed Karnataka Congress MLA KR Ramesh Kumar for his controversial rape comment.

While speaking to ANI, she said, “On one side they are making laws, strengthening laws and on another side, they are promoting rape. The party should not give tickets to such persons and public also shouldn't vote for such people.”

“These are the people who are there to make better laws for the people. But people were laughing at that insensitive remark. I wonder how they will be working for the betterment of people,” she added.
