Controversies and Azam Khan cannot stay away from each other for long. In his latest contentious statement, Uttar Pradesh Minority Welfare Minister Azam Khan has blamed smart phones for recent rapes of toddlers.
Speaking to ANI in Rampur, Azam Khan said today, “Two-and-half- year olds getting raped, why? It is because of mobile phones. Even in villages people can download things. It is these things that are accessible on mobile phones, that is ruining the youth and kids who haven’t even come of age.”
A five-year-old girl and another two-and-a-half year old toddler were raped in separate incidents in Delhi last week.
Azam Khan argued today that pornographic material was easily accessible over smartphones even in villages, which was ruining the growth of children and youth.
Azam Khan’s statement comes few days after SP supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav’s outlandish statement that rape by four men was not possible. He has been trolling on Twitter for his statement earning widespread criticism.
Azam Khan also compared Union Minister VK Singh’s ‘dog’ analogy to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘puppy’ statement in the run-up to the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. “The Prime Minister had used the word ‘puppy’ and now the puppy has become a fully grown dog,” the senior Samajwadi Party leader said today.
While talking about the Dadri incident, VK Singh had asked reporters not to associate every local incident with the central government. “For everything…like if somebody throws a stone at a dog, then the Central Government is responsible…it is not like that,” VK Singh had said triggering demands for his resignation by the Aam Aadmi Party and Congress.
