Rape Accusations 'Fashionable', Claims Shiv Sena Political Party

Rape accusations have become "fashionable", politicians in India claim.

The hardline Hindu nationalist Shiv Sena party made the claims in in an article supporting a police officer who has been accused of rape.

The article alleges that rape accusations had become "good weapons to seek personal revenge".

It follows accusations that senior police officer Sunil Parasker raped and molested a model over a three-month period.

"After he has served for so many years in the police force, one model now charges DIG [deputy inspector general] Sunil Paraskar with rape and in one night he becomes a villain," the party wrote. "Such accusations have become good weapons to seek personal revenge.

"Cases of charging men with molestation and rape in [high society] to create hype is on a rise now. It has almost become a fashion," wrote Shiv Sena, which is a key ally of prime minister Narendra Modi's government.

The article added that the Indian judicial system needed to "open its eyes" and protect the innocent because "all the laws in the country favour women so anyone can slap any charge against anyone".

The alleged victim has been placed under police protection after receiving death threats.

"This matter is in court," she said. "No one should be commenting in sensitive matters like this without knowing all the facts," she said in response to the party's comments.

In the wake of the fatal gang rape of a student in Delhi in 2012, India has toughened sexual assault and rape laws.

However, attacks are still frequent and spark protests.

Ruling Bharatiya Janata ministers were accused of trivialising rape in June, when one said attacks happen accidentally, and another claimed that rapes were "sometimes right, sometimes wrong".

The party promised to take a zero tolerance policy towards the crime when it swept to power in May's elections.

India is probably not the best place in the world to be looking for a voice of reason on rape.

Maybe not. But India is coming up in the world. Men and women are both gaining power. Women are pulling away from traditional gender roles like they have in the US. They seem to be playing the rape card when dating relationships go bad and men don't want to commit to marriage. It's a world wide trend. It's also seems to be common female behavior.

Please - why should women lie? I read those tweets almost every day, as if lying as woman when there are no repercussions but only things to gain would be such a surprise. Heck - many men would be starting to lie about having been raped by some cougars, if there would be only prices waiting for him while his identity would remain anonymous.

I suspect cops get away with rape a lot. After all, who's going to call the cops on a cop? They protect each other.

HOW YALE BRANDS INNOCENT MALES AS RAPISTS

Quote:

…In plain English, a Yale student is now being investigated as a serial rapist, with the possibility of sanctions—even though none of the females he allegedly raped have filed a complaint, or have even been identified. How any student could defend himself against such a charge is unclear.

The usual method was binding them hand and feet and throwing them into a lake. Not drowning was proof enough of their inoccence.

Nah, not drowning was the proof of guilt. If the victim didn't drown, it meant that he/she was worshipping the devil who granted him supernatural powers such as floating.

Exactly - if you survived you had devil powers and had to burnt on the stake. If you drowned you were innocent and in heaven by now.

Either way - a logical win-win. Some of those rape-accusations are actually quite similar, since a professor may already have been fired and his reputation tarnished, since the innocent-verdict is announced silently while the accusation is published on page 1 for the whole world to see.
