    Rapists should be severely punished whether he is a common man or religious leader. BJP's silence, particularly dirty mouthed Sussy in Asarm's case is proving BJP's double standard. To shout against Congress she has a crocodile mouth, but, now why he she dumb on rapist Asaram ?

    Even I think Rape cases highlighted \sensationalized too much by all sections of the media and that may also contribute for more such attacks rape\molestation.
    Same way,
    Even the suicidal cases should not be highlighted. Lesser details
