Law took its own course: Union Minister Smriti Irani

New Delhi: As soon as the news came of former BJP lawmaker Kuldeep Sengar’s conviction in the Unnao rape case on Monday, netizens were quick to ask Union Minister Smriti Irani for her reaction. Smriti, who helms the Ministry of Women and Child Development, was tagged and asked in a tweet to react on the conviction. Replying to the tweet, Smriti said without naming Sengar: “To presume that I would stand by anyone irrespective of their politics on issues of rape is abhorrent. The law has taken its course and I’m grateful that judicial processes continue to ensure the protection of women & children.” (IANS)
