India pushes back on Singapore PM's 'criminal, rapists' remarks about Indian MPs

"While Nehru's India has become one where, according to media reports, almost half the MPs in the Lok Sabha have criminal charges pending against them, including charges of rape and murder. Though it is also said that many of these allegations are politically motivated," Lee said.

"Things start off with passionate intensity. The leaders, who fought for and won independence, are often exceptional individuals of great courage, immense culture, and outstanding ability. They came through the crucible of fire and emerged as leaders of men and nations. They are the David Ben-Gurions, the Jawaharlal Nehrus, and we have our own too," PM Loong said.

Sources told India Today that "remarks by the Singapore Prime Minister were uncalled for".

Addressing Singapore's Parliament on Wednesday, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong had invoked Jawaharlal Nehru to argue how a democracy should function. He made the statement during a debate over a committee report on complaints against a former Workers' Party lawmaker.

NEW DELHI (AFP) - More than 40 per cent of lawmakers in India's new Parliament face criminal charges - some as serious as murder and rape - and the list is growing, an electoral reform group said on Saturday (May 25).

One Member of Parliament for the opposition Congress party is battling 204 cases, including manslaughter and robbery, the Association of Democratic Reforms (ADR) said.

At least 233 of the 543 members named as winning seats on Thursday face criminal proceedings, according to the ADR, whose election chief Anil Verma said there is a "disturbing trend" in Parliament that "is bad for the democracy".

The ADR said it studied the records of 539 of the winners and found that the number facing criminal cases was the highest since it started studies in 2004.

The report said 116 of the 303 lawmakers from Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) landslide win face charges, including one for terrorism.

Twenty-nine of the 52 Congress MPs face cases. Dean Kuriakose from Idukki, in Kerala state, faces 204 criminal cases.

The ADR said the number of lawmakers facing grave criminal cases had more than doubled in a decade - including 11 murder cases, 30 manslaughter charges and three accused of rape.

Indian laws bar people from contesting an election if they have been convicted while in office for crimes that carry jail terms of two or more years, with some exceptions depending on the crime.

Candidates standing for office for the first time are allowed to have a conviction.

None of the 185 lawmakers from the previous Parliament who faced criminal cases was convicted. Many have returned for a new term.

Firebrand Hindu nationalist Sadhvi Pragya Thakur, a newly elected BJP MP, faces a terrorism charge over a 2008 attack near a mosque that killed six people. She denies the charges and says she was framed by a previous Congress government.

Parties often brush off charges against their candidates by saying they were victims of political vendettas.

This year India's election commission made it mandatory for candidates to publish details of their criminal records during the campaign period.

The ADR campaigns to bring accountability into Indian politics and successfully petitioned the Supreme Court to make candidates file their educational, financial and criminal records.

Mr Verma said the political class sought to avoid reform.

But he added: "We will continue to legally fight this menace and demand that courts bar candidates facing criminal charges."

Indian politician found guilty of raping young woman in case where multiple witnesses died​

Court found victim's testimony to be 'unblemished, truthful, and of sterling quality'​

An Indian politician has been convicted of the rape of a young woman when she was a teenager, in a case that involved the deaths of multiple witnesses.

Kuldeep Singh Sengar, a former member of the Uttar Pradesh legislative assembly for prime minister Narendra Modi’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), was found guilty of kidnapping and raping a minor.

The court found the victim’s testimony to be “unblemished, truthful and of a sterling quality”, reported NDTV.

She was 17 when the rape took place in 2017, in the village of Unnao, Uttar Pradesh. Her case rose to prominence in April 2018 when she attempted to immolate herself in protest at police inaction.

One day later, her father – who brought the case to police on her behalf – was beaten by a group of men allegedly including Mr Sengar’s brother, and died of his injuries in hospital.

Then in July this year, the victim was travelling with her lawyer and two female relatives when their car was involved in a head-on collision with a truck, killing the relatives.

One of the relatives was a witness in the case. The victim and her lawyer were critically injured and remained in hospital for two months to recover.

A special court proceeding was held in the hospital to record the victim’s statement following the collision as she was unable to attend the trial.

The court said Sengar conspired to “silence” the victim’s father and ordered his accomplices to beat him.

It viewed the murder as “part of a larger conspiracy to deter, silence and prevent the father from pursuing” the rape of his daughter in 2017.

The case drew an outcry from both the public and opposition members of India’s parliament, who protested after the car crash took place.

Dayanidhi Maran, an MP, said at the time: “Every Indian hangs his head in shame because of the horrific Unnao case and the violence committed against the victim.

“Raped, subjected to violence, kith and kin killed. Is this the ‘New India’ we want to live in?”

Mr Sengar was expelled from the BJP party in August. He will be sentenced on Thursday, reported India Today.

Oh please God, let this episode cause a strain in Singapore-India relations, and all the CECA shitskin go back to India. Amen.

I'm actually shocked that he would bite the CECA hand that feeds him. :eek:

Maybe he a bit senile already, tao nao pai. In his zeal to fix Pritam and co, 脑门一热 he felt the adrenaline rush, and so his CB mouth started working its magic again.

Trump tanked the TPP. China seized the Terrex.
As the saying goes, trouble out by the mouth.
Perhaps Modi can formally ask PM Lee to make amends by modifying the existing CECA.

TPP is not a good thing... only the Davos globalist fanboys crave for it, and I'm sure Loong is one of them. :cool:

I still remember just before the 2016 US election, the local propagandist media constantly shilled for the TPP, saying how wonderful it was. :rolleyes:

An Indian friend once told me their politicians, especially at the district levels, are so hopelessly corrupt they are like movie villains.

He said he personally knew couple of journalists who were killed for trying to expose their crimes. One of them had his head sliced off by a scythe while riding back from a rural village after an interview with potential witness. Of course the murderer was never caught
