Expressing shock over the article, Uttar Pradesh Congress leader Rita Bahuguna Joshi demanded an apology from the Shiv Sena, saying that nothing can be more wrong than going against a woman’s dignity. “A very shameful comment has been published in ‘Saamna’, and the way the Shiv Sena has said that it has become a fashion to accuse men of rape, I feel nothing could be more against the dignity of a woman. It’is very wrong to give such a statement, and ‘Saamna’ should urgently apologise for it, Uddhav Thackeray should speak up, and if he doesn’t, then this means he doesn’t respect women, and we strongly condemn such types of statement,” said Joshi.
