BJP Rajya Sabha MP Ram Chander Jangra has stirred national outrage after blaming the victims of the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack—particularly women—for not resisting the assailants. Speaking at a public event in Bhiwani, Haryana, Jangra stated that the victims should have “fought back” and claimed that the women lacked the courage of historical warriors like the Rani of Jhansi. His remarks were widely condemned as insensitive and victim-blaming. The attack, which killed 26 tourists in Baisaran Valley, has reignited debates on public safety and political accountability.
