Rape of women is another form of terrorism: BJP

November 27, 2013 14:13

Stepping up its attack on Tehelka magazine editor-in-chief Tarun Tejpal, the BJP on Wednesday described rape of women as another form of terrorism.

"There is a term coined by Tarun Tejpal, that you can rape women in a BJP ruled state, and then in defence, claim to be a secular person,' said BJP leader Siddharth Nath Singh, in response to Tejpal's contention that the recent sexual assault case filed against him was a conspiracy hatched by the BJP.

"We have seen various governments competing with each other, to claim the title of secularism. And, to show their secularism, they advocate the release of Muslim terrorists," Singh said.
