‘Horrendous’: Nirmala Sitharaman slams Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Rape in India’ remark

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman launched a scathing attack on Rahul Gandhi over his 'rape in India' remark. Sitharaman called the statement horrendous and added that his statement is a matter of shame. This after the BJP raised the issue in Parliament and demanded an apology from the former Congress president. Rahul, however, refused to apologise for the statement and said that the BJP is raising the issue to divert attention from the violence in the North-East following the passage of the Citizenship Amendment Bill.
