¡°Uss lady ko un ladko ke saath chaar din jail mein rakho. Unko rakhna chahiye. Usko zaroorat hai. Kaisi auratein hoti hai, jinko badi daya aati hai? Aur aisi hi auraton ke kokh se nikalte hai daishi darinde¡­ Unhi ki kokh aisi hoti hai jo aisa sochte hai, jinko sympathy aati hai, pyaar aata hai inn daishiyon aur khooniyon pe (That woman should be locked in a jail with those rapists for four days. She needs it. What kind of women are these, who are sympathetic to rapists? Such women give birth to monsters. These women, who are full of love and sympathy for rapists and murderers, are the ones who give birth to them)."

Kangana went on to add that rapists should be hanged in public so that others think twice before committing such heinous crimes in the future.

¡°Mujhe nahi lagta inn logon ko chup-chaap maar dena chahiye. Aise maarne ka kya faayda, jab aap example hi na set kar paaye? Unn logon ko chaurahe pe hang karna chahiye (I don¡¯t think these rapists should be hanged silently. What is the point of capital punishment, if you cannot set an example? They should be hanged in public),¡± she said.

Just to give you a closer look at the case timeline, the four convicts in the 2012 Delhi gang rape, who are currently in Tihar jail, were sentenced to death and would be hanged at 6 AM on February 1. Earlier, Indira had tweeted,

¡°While I fully identify with the pain of Asha Devi I urge her to follow the example of Sonia Gandhi who forgave Nalini and said she didn¡¯t not want the death penalty for her. We are with you but against the death penalty.¡±

Indira¡¯s controversial remarks were criticized by many, including the Delhi gang-rape victim¡¯s mother, who was quoted by ANI as saying,

¡°Who is Indira Jaising to give me such a suggestion? The whole country wants the convicts to be executed. Just because of people like her, justice is not done with rape victims.¡±
