Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi on Thursday condemned the assault on two Army trainee officers from Mhow War College in Madhya Pradesh's Indore district. The two Army officers along with a women friend had gone for a picnic when armed miscreants held them hostage and gang-raped one of the women. 

"The violence against two army soldiers and the rape of their female companion in Madhya Pradesh is enough to shame the entire society," said the Congress leader on X. 

Cornering the Bharatiya Janata Party government in MP on the issue, Gandhi said that law and order in BJP-ruled states is almost "non-existent". 

"This audacity of the criminals is a result of the total failure of the administration and the unsafe environment prevailing in the country due to this is a restriction on the freedom and aspirations of the daughters of India," he added. 

मध्य प्रदेश में सेना के दो जवानों के साथ हिंसा और उनकी महिला साथी के साथ दुष्कर्म पूरे समाज को शर्मसार करने के लिए काफी है।

भाजपा शासित राज्यों की कानून व्यवस्था लगभग अस्तित्वहीन है - और, महिलाओं के खिलाफ़ दिन प्रतिदिन बढ़ते अपराधों पर भाजपा सरकार का नकारात्मक रवैया अत्यंत…

Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati also termed the incident as "very shameful". " The situation is out of control because the government is not taking such heinous incidents seriously. The government should pay attention," she said.

1. मध्यप्रदेश के इन्दौर में पर्यटक स्थल जामगेट में घूमने गए सेना के दो अफसरों पर हमला, उन्हें बंधक बनाना तथा उनकी महिला मित्रों के साथ दुष्कर्म की घटना अति-शर्मनाक। सरकारों द्वारा लगातार हो रही ऐसी जघन्य घटनाओं को उसकी गंभीरता से नहीं लेने से ही स्थिति बेकाबू। सरकार ध्यान दे। 1/2

"Forget about women's respect, the bigger the statements made about their safety, the more the incidents of heinous crimes against them that shame humanity continue to happen, this proves that the fear of law has vanished, especially among the anti-social and criminal elements, this is very sad and worrying," she added.
