New Delhi, March 26: A BJP MP on Wednesday demanded action against a sitting Allahabad High Court judge who said in an order that merely grabbing breasts and pulling pyjama strings of a woman does not amount to rape. Raising the issue during Zero Hour in the Lok Sabha, BJP member Mukesh Rajput said the recent observations made by the judge in a case related to alleged rape of a minor were undignified, disturbing and condemnable. ‘Insensitive, Inhumane’: Supreme Court Stays ‘Breast Grabbing, Pyjama String Pulling Not Rape’ Observation Made by Allahabad HC.

"It is regrettable that people occupying high posts make such remarks. It is a post where a person in distress turns to seek justice… But when a sitting judge makes such remarks regarding women, it is horrifying and condemnable," the BJP member from Farrukhabad said. Rajput said the remarks of the high court judge have caused hurt to over 140 crore citizens and women were feeling uncomfortable. Supreme Court Stays ‘Breast Grabbing, Pyjama String Pulling Not Rape’ Observation Made by Allahabad HC, Terms Its Approach ‘Insensitive’, ‘ Inhuman’.

"Such a person should apologise to women. I urge the minister to take note of these remarks and take action against this person as mandated by the Constitution," Rajput said. The Supreme Court on Wednesday stayed the observations made by Justice Ram Manohar Narayan Mishra of Allahabad High Court, saying they depicted "total insensitiveness" and an "inhuman approach".
