As the Bengaluru mass molestation on New Year's Eve left India and the world revolted, Samajwadi Party MLA Abu Azmi, forever in the news for making cringeworthy remarks, blamed the way women 'dressed' for the attacks.
"You have to keep petrol away from fire. And if there is sugar, ants will come automatically to it. In today's world, the more a woman is nude, the more she is considered modern and educated," Huffington Post India quoted the politician as having remarked.

When such examples come in front of us, that whoever did this is behind bars within 2-3 months, and continuously if we see this, situation will change. There will be fear among people, which is a very important thing,” Dangal actor said.
