While women battle stalkers in India on a daily basis, a woman BJP MLA has glorified stalking.

BJP MLA from Jind, Premalata Singh called stalking 'Jawani ka Josh'.

While on the one hand, she praised Varnika, the victim in the Chandigarh stalking case, she also commented that these things happen all the time.

This comment from the BJP camp comes barely days after Union Minister Babul Supriyo came to the defense of the accused Haryana BJP chief’s son Vikas Barala questioning the media for dragging his father, Subhash Barala in the entire incident.

Is this the patriarchal mindset that the ruling government is propagating?

Vikas and his friend Ashish Kumar were on Saturday sent to the judicial custody till August 25 by a court in the alleged stalking and attempt to abduction case of a 29-year-old woman.

They were charged with attempted abduction under section 365 of the IPC and section 511, which relates to an attempt to commit an offense punishable with life or other imprisonments.
