Two days after the Unnao rape survivor's road accident in Raebareli, Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said in the Lok Sabha that the rape as "a blot on civilized society" and demanded a response from Home Minister Amit Shah. Union Minister of Parliamentary Affairs Pralhad Joshi, responded to Mr Chowdhury and urged the house not to politicise the matter as CBI was already investigating the matter.
Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav, who met the family members of the rape survivor at the hospital, held the government fully responsible for the accident. "Can the state government not ensure justice to this beti (daughter). What is the fault of the family members . If something happens to the two injured who will be responsible for it," Akhilesh Yadav said.
