RJD leer Shivanand Tiwari said, "This of incident has increased in last few years. In tribal areas, incidents of rape never occurred. Tribal culture has never been such that rape will happen. But it has started since time people tried modernising se societies. society has become a consumers' society and women are also seen as an object. Item dance, s, porgraphic content on phones prepare mindset of rape. Just making stringent laws won't end it. As long as a situation that incites for rape persists, you won't be able to stop it. So, we have to end things that propagate ideas of rape. In Nirbhaya's case, death sentence was given but it hasn't stopped."
