    Rape victims will be given government jobs: Mulayam

    Siddharth Nagar (Uttar Pradesh), Jan 29 (IANS) Hitting out at the Mayawati government for rising incidents of rape and murder in Uttar Pradesh, Samajwadi Party president Mulayam Singh Yadav declared Sunday that he would ensure government jobs to every rape victim if his party won the Feb 8-Mar 3 assembly polls.

    Addressing an election rally in this Uttar Pradesh district, Mulayam Singh said: 'Once the Samajwadi Party government is in place in Uttar Pradesh, not only will we ensure that rapists and murderers do not go scot-free, but we will also ensure due respect to rape victims.'

    'While the government will give some monetary assistance to all such victims, the educated ones would be also offered jobs in the government.'

    Among other promises made for women in the SP manifesto, Mulayam Singh has also assured two sarees and a blanket to all poor women.

    However, the assurance witnessed a sharp reaction from the Congress, whose spokesman Abhishek Manu Singhvi termed it 'lamentable'. 'It appears that Mulayam Singh Yadav wants to admit that come what may rapes will continue under his regime too in UP,' Singhvi told media persons in Lucknow.

    The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) also criticised the statement. BJP spokesman Ravi Shankar Prasad said: 'Mulayam Singh Yadav's remark speaks volumes of his insensitive attitude. Is monetary compensation any answer to a rape?'

      This dull headed pehelwan will be Chief Minister and encourage rape so that he con become more popular by giving a job to the victim. I am surprised that an aspiring CM is not talking about having a law and order situation where no one will dare to commit the crime of Rape. What an unfortunate day for India.

      Is n`t it made a qualification for Govt jobs?Feel sympathy .Trust in our system of policing.Make every branch of them active.Give proper education to villagers.Give financial help and a little more life facilities to the poor.Lift the people from the orthodox idea of caste.Teach them about their ability and the 21st century people of the world.Lift and bring good people in the front line of society and politics.They are already fed up with a kind of politics ,existing.This statement is an open declaration of political failure of all parties,total failure of administrative set up of the state,and the helpless condition of women and poor people of the state.If the politicians and the police system of that state are active and the people has the knowledge to response so many evilness can be wiped out.We heard about so many political personalities from there including the names of the leaders mentioned here.Even then the life their gives an agonising system.Why?

      This is really a horror that such dung filled heads are ruling this country.

      When the whole thinking is up-side down, naturally priorities are like this. First, strengthen police and intelligence. Then hire able lawyers. Make sure that criminals involved in these acts are punished. At least these people can learn something from Nitish Kumar. Certainly give help of all types for the helpless girls/women when required. But reduce the tortures before!

      People will start faking 'R a p e ", as an easy way to get Government job! No more need for the Public Service Commissions, Employment Exchanges and the likes. Next will be offer of such jobs to Rapists so that they are not ostracised by the community. Mer Bharath Mahan!!!

      Does it mean that that Mulayam Sigh Yadav wants to say 'if you want a get government job in UP, get raped' and we won't punish the males for their heinous crime. Such males should be sent to gallows instantaneously and in public so that others do not dare to do such crimes. What type of political leaders we have now? I pray to the God to give them wisdom.

      Instead of asking for death sentence for rapist this politician wants to give compensation for rape victims......Truly only a fool like Mullah Bukhari would ask or think to vote him.......who else....these kind of people now sees votes during elections in a rape victim !!! what was he doing all these years ......i don't think he would have given 1 paise in the past to rape victims or ever talked to them or inquired about them.......

      Strange ideas in election time..instead finding causes of rapes and punishing the culprits..offering jobs will attract more girls to get raped as jobs r the most sort after thing

      How come people of UP not reacting to this senseless remark. Is this applicable to his family also. Does anybody think that Rape victim will request a job under this category. This will never ever happen. If at all it happens it would be easy to identify the raped victim.
