Former Haryana chief minister Om Parkash Chautla today came out in support of the idea given by Khap panchayats that marriageable age limit of girls should be reduced to curb incidents of rape.

After submitting a memorandum to Governor Jagannath Pahadia over recent cases of rape in the state, Chautala said slammed the Bhupinder Singh Hooda government for the "worsening" law and order situation in the state.

"Four cases of rape were reported on the very day Congress president Sonia Gandhi came to meet a rape victim in Jind district," Chautala said. When his attention was drawn towards khap panchayats' suggestion, Chautala supported the idea saying that it will help curbing such crimes against women.
