Video: BJP leader offers to abduct girls who reject marriage proposal

Dubai: A Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader in India has offered a solution for young men if their marriage proposal gets rejected by girls. Indian social media users are furious at the politician’s solution. He has offered to abduct the girls.

Condemning the remark @dhavalkulkarni tweeted: “Ram Kadam #BJP MLA from Ghatkopar in Mumbai offers to abduct girls and marry them off to their jilted suitors. This, at a time when there are reports of girls committing suicide after being harassed by eve teasers. #RamKadam #shame”

Some felt Kadam deserved to be expelled from his political position, for his irresponsible and insensitive remark.

@Santos_Nalawade tagged prominent BJP leaders on his tweet: “BJP MLA @ramkadam on last Tuesday purportedly said he would help ‘abduct’ a girl for a boy who likes her, even if she refuses his advances. @raosahebdanve @Dev_Fadnavis request you to expel him from the party. @AmitShah @Ramlal”
