MLA Surendra Singh of the Bharatiya Janata Party, representing the Bairia constituency in Ballia, Uttar Pradesh, said Saturday that incidents of rape would cease if parents inculcate ‘sanskar‘and good values in his daughters when speaking in reference to the horrific rape and murder of a 19-year-old Dalit woman in Hathras. She said that even if the government stands firm, incidents of rape cannot be stopped.
While interacting with the media in Ballia’s Chandpur, the BJP legislator said: “I am a teacher. Even if the government stands firm, such incidents would not stop. Such incidents will cease when the parents give sanskar to their daughters and instill (good) values in them. “

He also added, “The way it is the duty of the government to provide protection, likewise, it is the duty of the family and parents to instill the sanskar in their children. Parents must teach them courteous behavior. The combination of Sanskar and government can make the country beautiful. There is no other way out. “
He also said that the leaders of Congress, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi, will not be able to lead the rise of Congress in Uttar Pradesh. Both congressional leaders had met on Saturday with the family of the Dalit girl who was brutally raped and killed by four men on September 14. The media and political leaders were not allowed to meet with the victim’s family until Saturday as Section 144 was imposed on the town and nearby areas.
The Uttar Pradesh government recommended that the Central Bureau of Investigation take over the investigation after several opposition leaders and activists demanded the resignation of Uttar Pradesh Prime Minister Yogi Adityanath.
