This comes after Kangana Ranaut hit out at the senior lawyer who claimed that the Delhi gang-rape victim's mother to pardon the rapists just like Senior Congress leader Sonia Gandhi forgave her husband's killers.
Lashing out at the senior lawyer, Kangana Ranaut had said, Jaising should be kept in jail with Nirbhaya's rapists for 4 days. She concluded by saying that it is because of women like her who support rapists, that victims fail to get justice. Further commenting on the convicts of Nirbhaya, Kangana said, "Firstly they shouldn't be called minors because if he can reproduce and rape someone then he is not a minor. These men should be hanged till death at crossroads to set an example."
