Giriraj no better than a rapist

New Delhi: There is no end to the row over Union Minister Giriraj Singh's racist comments. Strongly objecting to comments by Ministers, controversial British filmmaker Leslee Udwin who directed the documentary on Nirbhaya said that Singh is "no better than a rapist".

"This really sickens me. The hypocrisy of mini mouthed, unthinking comments by those who say my film gives platform to rapists, but why has Indian Parliament for many years, given a platform to politicians making such misogynist comments. They are no worse, no better than Mukesh Singh's comments," she said.

She also added that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should sack Ministers like Giriraj Singh.
