The Delhi student who was fatally gang-raped on a moving bus should not have been out late at night

watching a movie. The photographer gang-raped while shooting a deserted mill in the heart of Mumbai

placed herself in danger by visiting the area at 6 pm. This was the opinion offered by a woman

politician in Maharashtra who is also a member of the Maharashtra Women's Rights Commission.

Asha Mirge, a practicing doctor, is a member of the Nationalist Congress Party or NCP which co-

governs Maharashtra with the Congress party.

When Ms Mirge made these comments on two cases of sexual violence that outraged the country, the

NCP's Supriya Sule was seated next to her on stage. Ms Sule's father, Sharad Pawar, heads the NCP.
