April 11, 2014 19:44

Not just from across the country, Samajwadi Party leader Abu Azmi is facing opposition at home for making bizarre and shocking statement over punishment to women who were raped.

On microblogging website Twitter, Bollywood actress Ayesha Takia, the daughter-in-law of Azmi, said: "if wot im reading about my father in laws statements r true then me and Farhan are deeply embarrassed n ashamed..."

"We surely do nottt share this mindset...its disrespectful to women.if these statements r true then its sad."

Farhan Azmi, the son of Azmi and husband of Takia, in the meantime, defended his father but stated that rapists should be hanged.

On his Twitter handle, he said: "Guys as far as I am concerned I have made myself more than clear.hang a rapist a 100 times & give me the duty to do so.I will do it for free. Spoke 2 my father about his comments.In my opinion on the topic of RAPE only 1 statement must b given without any explanation-hang da rapist"
