The "enjoy rape" comment was made by a Karnataka Congress leader during a discussion on farmers in the Karnataka assembly yesterday.
In a massive controversy over a Karnataka Congress leader's "enjoy rape when inevitable" comment in the state assembly, a shocking video shows the Speaker and MLAs laughing at the comment. I would like to express my sincere apologies to everyone for the indifferent and negligent comment I made in today's assembly about “Rape!” My intention was not trivialise or make light of the heinous crime, but an off the cuff remark! I will choose my words carefully henceforth!
The comment was made during a discussion on farmers in the Karnataka assembly yesterday. As members fought to have their say on the subject, Speaker Vishweshwara Hegde Kageri wondered how he could run a session if every MLA was given time to speak.
"Whatever you decide - I will say yes. What I am thinking is that let us enjoy the situation. I can't control or regulate the system. My concern is about the business of the house, it has also to be covered," Mr Kageri remarked.
Congress MLA KR Ramesh Kumar responded, chuckling: "There is a saying that when rape is inevitable, lie down and enjoy it. That is exactly the position which you are in."
He took to X to share his distress, describing the situation as "painful to watch" especially since he was in the US and unable to personally intervene.
