Hina Khan further asked everyone to stop blaming alcohol as the reason behind such crimes. 'Alcohol causes many things but it doesn't make a Good Man a Rapist! Stop Alcohol Blaming and Escapism. Good Men can Handle Alcohol just as they Handle Superior Physical Power compared to a Woman, they use it to Protect Women.' the diva said.
Mumbai, May 6: In light of the Nishat rape case in J&K, actress Hina Khan stressed the need to differentiate between rape and s*xual assault. Hina penned on her Instagram stories, "Can someone for gods sake teach these Morons the Difference between s*xual assault and rape.. A Rape is a Rape. A Murder is a Murder. A S*xual Assault may differ in description but it's just the Precursor of Rape. It only means that the perpetrators COULD NOT do it rather than DID NOT do it. A Rapist blames everything else than Himself. Don't act like that Criminal. Don't use Alcohol to give the Criminal a 'Free Get Away Card'. Do not Justify Rape. Do not even Justify Sexual Assault. Not in the name of Religion, Community, Geography or Attire. These Demons Exist everywhere, in every community, every religion..lurking for Opportunity."
