A senior Indian politician has been caught on camera slapping a young woman for seeing a Muslim man.
Sangeeta Varshney, the leader of BJP Mahila Morcha, slapped the 18-year-old twice while asking her: “Don’t you have any shame, do you think you’re that grown up? Can you not even understand who is a Hindu and who Muslim?” The incident happened in Algiarh, India, on Tuesday.
According to the The Times of India, the politician shamed the Hindu girl for being “seen in public” with a man of a different faith and resorted to violence when the girl refused to let Ms Varshney call her parents.
