Mumbai: Bollywood actors Kriti Sanon and Swara Bhasker hit out at BJP MLA Surendra Singh for his comment that rapes can be stopped if parents inculcate good values in their daughters.  

The actors opined that his mindset needs to be changed.

"Teach daughters how to not get raped??? Can he hear himself talk? THIS is the MINDSET that needs to change! Its so messed up! Why can’t they give some sanskaar to their sons???" Kriti slammed the BJP leader.

Swara reacted strongly against his comments and said he is a '#rapedefender'.

Swara also shared an old video of the politician where he could be heard giving a reaction to the Unnao rape.

Actress Pooja Bedi commented: "These are the kind of MORONS & patriarchal lunatics that the @BJP4India has in its folds. Time for a colon cleansing for the ruling party.. dont u think?"

When asked to react on the gang rape incident in UP, the politician was quoted as saying by media: "I am also a teacher. Even if the government stands with the sword, such incidents will not stop. Such incidents will stop only when parents give sanskaar (value) to their daughters and inculcate (good) values in them,” he said.
