CNN IBN: Asaram Bapu has finally reacted to the widespread criticism to his remarks against the the Delhi gang rape victim. Addressing his supporters he says he is not bothered about what the media thinks of him or his comments. The self-proclaimed godman says, "First one dog started barking. Then another dog started barking. And then all dogs started barking. If the elephant runs after dogs, then their (dogs) value increases and the elephant's decreases. Why should I run after them?"

Obviously, Asaram calls himself an elephant, and his critics, dogs. Asaram had said that the Delhi gang rape victim was equally to blame for the rape. He said she should have begged and pleaded before the six drunk men to let her go and called them her 'brothers'. He had also said that had the girl chanted the Saraswati mantra she would not have got into the bus or gone out for a movie with her friend.
