As the entire nation is seething with anger about the numerous atrocities against women, here comes a statement, which will make your blood boil. India cricket team pacer Mohammed Shami’s wife, Hasin Jahan has made a very offensive comment, by comparing herself with the 8-year-old Kathua rape and murder victim. According to reports, she feels like the Kathua rape victim after being cheated by her husband Shami.

As per a recent video shot during a support candle march for the victim, the comparison was because this is exactly how she felt after being mistreated by her husband. Looking at the increase in crimes against minor in the country, the POCSO Act was recently amended. Now there will be a death penalty for people convicted of raping girls between the age of 0-12.

Ace cricketer Mohammed Shami is in the middle of severe controversies, following his wife, Jahan's numerous allegations against him. Jahan accused the cricketer by posting screenshots of text messages of questionable nature that Shami allegedly exchanged with various women. She even posted the screenshots of the conversations along with photographs and phone numbers of women on Facebook. The posts were titled 'Shami's enjoyment' and were uploaded from an unverified account. It was deleted soon after it went viral and started creating noise on social media. From accusing her husband of having an 'extra-marital' affair to attempting to murder her, Jahan has shocked everyone with her allegations in the last few months.

It is a shame that being a woman, Hasin can afford to make such insensitive comments, which belittles the gravity of the pain and the brutality the Kathua victim had to go through.
