New Delhi: The National Commission for Women (NCW) has sent a notice to Karnataka Home Minister K J George taking suo-moto cognizance of his remarks suggesting that rape by two men cannot be termed as gangrape.
"It is a suo motu notice. We have asked for an immediate explanation, failing which he will be summoned by the Commission," NCW Chief Lalitha Kumaramangalam said today.
"He doesn't even know what rape means and that is why he has commented like this. He is another example of a person who comments on violence over women without pondering over it," she said on the sidelines of an event.
Commenting on the alleged sexual assault on a BPO employee by two men in a van, George had said, "How can you say gangrape? Gangrape means four-five people."
