Results of the week. “Again your ego has been itching.”
The total time is more than 3 hours 50 minutes. The air with the president beat records of interest among TV viewers, radio listeners, users of the global network. Thousands of calls, SMS messages, questions via the Internet, as well as, for the first time in the practice of direct lines, thousands of personal video messages of Russians (about 100 video questions per minute) from a wide variety of regions were received during the week prior to the broadcast, as well as directly on the air. countries from foreign countries. In total, more than 2 of millions of questions came through various channels.
For obvious reasons, most of the questions to which Vladimir Putin answered live were devoted to the problems of Ukraine and the reunification of the Crimea and Sevastopol with Russia. The president told viewers and listeners about his personal attitude to some candidates for the presidency of Ukraine, as well as his attitude to the race as a whole. Vladimir Putin told a lot of interesting things about his western partners. Only one story about how Rasmussen, still being a Danish official, recorded a conversation with Putin on the tape recorder without the knowledge of Putin himself, and then this conversation also merged into the media, which it cost. Once again, the Russian president told about how “honest” Western leaders are in their plans not to expand NATO to the East, and about how “smart” and “pragmatic” the current pseudo-government of Ukraine is.
On the direct line, quite often the original responses of Vladimir Putin sounded. In the course of thinking about NATO strikes on Libya, Vladimir Putin called Dmitry Medvedev an acting president. And during one of the answers about gas contracts, Vladimir Putin christened the current Minister of Energy of Ukraine Sold the Minister with a talking name ...

Comrade migrant! All around Step march!
Unexpected news came early in the week. The leader of the public organization “Federation of Migrants of Russia”, uniting representatives of the most diverse diasporas in the Russian Federation (diasporas of more than 40 countries of the world), Muhammad Amin Majumder, announced that millions of migrants are ready to serve in the Russian army. Madjumdera quotes Interfax:
Millions of migrants, including former USSR citizens, currently residing in Russia, are ready to serve in the Armed Forces and participate in the defense of the defense of the Russian Federation.
At the same time, the FMR (this is the Federation of Migrants of Russia) notes that migrants are concerned about the increasing Western pressure on the world community and, in particular, on the Russian Federation, and therefore announce their proposal to strengthen the security of the Russian borders. The FMR also stated that it’s time without any ideological barrier to rally the peoples living in the territory of the Russian Federation, regardless of their origin or religious affiliation.
The preoccupation of migrants with the increasing Western pressure, of course, touches, as does their desire to unite the peoples living in the territory of the Russian Federation through their own military service in the Russian army. But only the fervor of pro-Russian patriotism on the part of the “millions of migrants”, about which the citizen of Bangladesh Madjumder speaks, raises some doubts. Vague doubts ... Honestly, you can hardly imagine that a person who came from a sunny Central Asian village was more concerned not with the desire to earn money in Russia, but with the ability to resist Western pressure, the machinations of the State Department and the insidious plans of the Pentagon and NATO. Madjumder clearly overdid it in his field ...

Odessa Mama
Odessa "antimaydan" declared the region "Odessa People's Republic" and urged residents of the city to block traffic in the city. “Odessa is a democratic, multinational, tolerant city and here the majority, consisting of local residents, and not the agents of the CIA, the SBU, the FSB, the governors and deputies, decides,” wrote the authors of the appeal.
On the same day, in the hero-city of Odessa, there appeared thugs of pravoseki, who decided to restore the Maidan "justice" by their own methods. According to UkroSMI, in the Primorsky district, employees of the State Ministry of Internal Affairs in Odessa detained several young people who were carrying shields, Molotov cocktails, metal fittings trimming, baseball bats - a complete “gentleman's” set of “dogs”, which today in Ukraine no one seems to be surprised.
Information with the detention of thugs looks a bit strange. The strangeness is that literally one day before the described events in the same State Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Odessa region announced the creation of a special squad “Storm” in the city, including on the basis of pravosek and other maydanutyh activists. This is a quote: a detachment of special purpose police patrol service. Special purpose - that's for sure ...
In addition, the Maidan police chief of Odessa (the former head of the Transcarpathian traffic police), Lutsyuk, issued an appeal in which he called on Odessans to join the ranks of the Maidan militia in order to “preserve the integrity of Ukraine.” Here, it turns out, how ... And we thought it was a sinful deed that it was Maidan’s Khan and do everything to split the country into pieces.
Meanwhile, the residents of Odessa, in the meantime, saw a unique phenomenon in their city - on the beaches, someone installed anti-tank hedgehogs ...

Kiev restricts the entry of all male Russians from 16 to 60 to Ukraine. These are temporary restrictions, according to representatives of the State Border Service of Ukraine. Entry will also limit for male citizens of Ukraine registered in the Crimea and Sevastopol. Notifications on the prohibition of entry into the territory of Ukraine of Russians in the Russian Railways have not yet received. Earlier on the restrictions reported "Aeroflot".
Ukrainian border guards will hold talks with all Russians at checkpoints. Only those who have documentary evidence of the death or illness of a close relative, as well as if there is a supporting document to the invitation from legal entities and individuals, will receive a permit to Ukraine.
In this connection, the commentary of the spokesman for the State Border Service of Ukraine, Mr. Slobodyan, is interesting (quoted "Vedomosti"):
Thanks Slobodian! It was from his light hand (well, or language) that we learned that the new Ukrainian “authorities” came up with a unique way to differentiate women. These authorities, it turns out, can separate them by “active” and “passive” ages.
After such messages from Slobodian, not every woman from Russia will agree to cross the Ukrainian border, even if she really needs it. After all, if she is allowed to cross the ukrovlasia border, it turns out that her age is “passive” ... How can a self-respecting woman live with this fact? ..
I wonder what principle Slobodyan and his colleagues will determine the "activity" of the age of Russian women? According to the well-known male reaction (from Slobodyan) to the female sex, or what? .. And who tested this reaction from Slobodyan himself? Farion? Tymoshenko? Or, God forgive me, Avakov?

A photo of a "lucrative offer" from one of the Ukrainian banks has spread on the Internet. In particular, the news portal "Press of Ukraine" reports that "in troubled Donetsk and Lugansk, where armed pro-Russian separatists-terrorists operate", a new social advertisement has appeared. The banner reads: "A profitable offer from PrivatBank: $ 10000 for Moscow".
Users wondered: fake or not fake?
In order to establish the truth, the journalists of “Military Review” had to contact the Privatbank directly with the question of where they could receive money, because we were here, “Moskal”, a dime a dozen ... They said they were switching to a certain department, quote : at your request. After a minute or two, the female voice clarified the purpose of our call. Having explained the essence of the matter, they heard in response that Privatbank has nothing to do with the poster in question. Yes? But the gentlemen from Dnipro-1, a subdivision controlled by Kolomoisky, were promised 10 thousands of dollars for a “saboteur” from the south-east of Ukraine ... And who are these “saboteurs”?
After that, in order to maintain the conversation, all that remained was to ask when the management of Privatbank was going to allow the residents of Crimea who had accounts with this bank to withdraw their funds. The girl said that work in this direction is underway, but she does not have exact data. But I could say that Privatbank also has nothing to do with this ...

Guardsmen on armor
At the end of March, new information appeared on the future of the Ukrainian armored personnel carrier BTR-4. According to the Ukrainian media, armored vehicles built as part of one of the most ambitious and controversial projects of recent times have found their new owners. In the foreseeable future, several BTR-4 armored personnel carriers will be transferred to the newly created National Guard of Ukraine.
Not having this very National Guard, but having scattered groups of radicals from among the “Maidan activists”, the self-proclaimed ukrovlasts are not only going to disarm these groups, but also vice versa - they are going to supply them with armored vehicles.
Now, to the wooden bits, Molotov cocktails and stolen from warehouses in the west of Ukraine (in military units), assault rifles, grenade launchers and MANPADS from the Cardinal's Guardsmen will also be added with armored personnel carriers. With or without marriage is no longer so important.
I wonder in what direction will these armored personnel carriers open fire? ..

Have you eaten "Cook"?
History about the “inadmissible and provocative flight”, as representatives of the Pentagon called the recent incident in the Black Sea, when our Su-24 front bomber flew around the American destroyer Donald Cook several times, acquires new, very interesting details.
On the network, they are discussing the version according to which it was not an ordinary plane, but its reconnaissance version Su-24MR. Not only that - equipped with the newest electronic warfare complex (EW) "Khibiny", which has no analogues in the world and is currently being tested.
When the destroyer Donald Cook was just planning to enter the Black Sea, he was already “met” by his warning in the microblog Dmitry Rogozin:
Apparently, the “natives” were understood to be the very system “Khibiny”, about which the press writes, although “Khibiny” and SU-24 over the sea with its active involvement are very far from each other concepts. Anyway…
After the Russian plane "waved its wings" at a distance of less than a kilometer from the "Cook", the Pentagon immediately called the appearance of the Russian "Drying" a provocation. Well, we have long been accustomed to such tricks: the entry of an American destroyer into the Black Sea is not a provocation, but without fail a friendly, welcoming flight of a Russian military aircraft is a provocation ... We need to be calmer, Pentagon, calmer. After all, it is possible to disturb our trained Crimean combat dolphins with our comments ... And they, after being pumped around the Crimea, have our ear and are eager to show themselves ...
Only here on the "Cook" and marine mammals a pity to waste ...

Simplified ...
The State Duma adopted amendments to the law “On Citizenship of the Russian Federation”, providing for simplification of the procedure for obtaining Russian citizenship (now the bill has been submitted for consideration to the Council of the Federation).
"Russian map". What needs to be changed in the new draft law on citizenship, so that it does not harm, but helps
Now, it seems that a person who is recognized in Russia as a native speaker of Russian can receive Russian citizenship. The carrier - this means that a person not only fluent in the language, but also uses it in daily practice. It would seem that now it will be easier for Russian-speaking citizens of foreign countries to get Russian citizenship to everyone who wants it. However, there is a strange clause in the amendments, which says that the ancestors of the “native Russian speaker” were supposed to reside exclusively on the territory of the Russian Empire or the USSR, which today corresponds to the territory of the Russian Federation. And what is the simplification? For example, if the ancestor lived in the territory of Transnistria or Donbass, then the residents of these regions, with the possible receipt of a Russian passport, face the same difficulties, because Transnistria and the Donbass are not the territory of the Russian Federation. One must warm the soul of those who want to become Russians: BYE is not the territory of the Russian Federation ...

Boiling Southeast and low-vision Shtepa
The situation in the southeast of Ukraine was the most heated in the week. Kramatorsk, Slavyansk, Mariupol, Donetsk, Raisin, Lugansk - the name of the Ukrainian cities, which today can be heard in a variety of world media.
News from Donbass comes as an avalanche, and each of them ceases to be news within a few minutes after its appearance, since it is replaced by another.
Ukrainian armored vehicles, marching south-east on the criminal order from Kiev, found themselves in the hands of representatives of the Donetsk People's Republic. Ukrainian soldiers simply left the equipment and went to their homes. Kiev, in order to save face, even declared that it was such a cunning plan to “break through into the lair of the enemy.” As a result of this miracle plan, the number of units of military equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine among the supporters of federalization has increased ...
One of the newsmakers in the southeast was Nelia Shtepa - already the ex-mayor of Slavyansk, who first swore allegiance to the people of Donbass, and then with her belongings waved to the capital, believing that the language would bring to Kiev. And it brought.
Shtepa for Shuster and other impressionable-tilted ones told how “green men” killed people in Slavyansk ... She herself, she said, saw everything with these eyes — three of them “decided” ... In addition, the critical age of Shtep “suggested” to her that “everything these people "- well, the green men - the Russians, and she almost saw their passports herself again with these very eyes ... Doctor! Ophthalmologist for Shtepa, urgently! She definitely has something with her eyes ...

In New York, a regular meeting was held in the UN Security Council at which the crisis in Ukraine was considered. Russia's permanent representative to the UN, Vitaly Churkin, criticized a report published on Tuesday in Geneva. In particular, he noted that the drafters of the report preferred not to notice that the current authorities in Ukraine came as a result of an armed coup. According to Churkin, the document also does not pay due attention to the problem of the growth of nationalist sentiment in Ukraine, it also “says nothing about appeals to ethnic discord.” Churkin expressed the opinion that people who do not have the reputation of democratic politicians came to power in Ukraine, and there is no reason to talk about democracy in Kiev.
But the United States Permanent Representative to the UN, Samantha Power, believes that the actions of the Kiev authorities in the east of Ukraine were “cautious and balanced.” According to Power, events in the eastern regions of Ukraine, as well as in Crimea, are a well-planned campaign from Russia: “We believe that this is a well-organized, professionally-directed campaign of incitement to hostility and sabotage. And there is evidence that this campaign is being conducted by Russia. ” According to Power, the Russian side is constantly “trying to distract attention from its actions, from its aspirations for territorial expansion.
Vitaly Churkin had to fend off some of the statements of Power. “Many of those who are now in power in Kiev have such a reputation that a year ago you would not have given them a hand,” Churkin said, addressing UN Security Council members.
Mrs. Power, thus, joined the choir of madmen, howling in the Western press about the "occupier" Moscow, which, in the course of the newest blitzkrieg, is trying to take over land from Ukraine to Finland with the subsequent landing of airborne troops in the District of Columbia.
By the way, “a well-organized, professionally directed campaign of incitement to hostility and sabotage” is the occupation that the State Department constantly trades on on our non-peaceful world. One "Arab Spring" is worth something!
Washington is not very good at blaming Russia for what it traditionally does itself. The referendum in the Crimea is generally a purely American merit, a side effect of euromaidan, which was fed by people from the State Department.

"Photoshop" in evidence
US Secretary of State John Kerry sharply criticized anti-Semitism in Ukraine. In his speech, he spoke about leaflets "in one of the cities," in which they demanded that the Jews declare themselves. Similar leaflets have recently appeared in the Donetsk region. The man, whose name they are signed, told the channel "RT", it is a fake.
Speaking on the results of the quadripartite talks in Geneva, John Kerry told reporters about anti-Semitism in Ukraine and cited a situation that allegedly took shape in one of the cities as an example.
“In the last two days, letters were sent to Jews in one of the cities that they should declare themselves as Jews. The letter also contained threats, ”said Kerry.
“By the 2014 year, after all the lessons that history has taught us, this is not just unacceptable, this is absurd. This is beyond acceptability. ... People involved in this kind of activity on both sides should understand that there is no place for that, ”said Kerry.
The “letters” call for Jews to register before May 3 on 2014 with a certain “Commissioner for Nationalities”. On paper is the signature of the "people's governor" Denis Pushilin.
“In fact, there are similar letters not only about Jews, but also about entrepreneurs, foreign students, other citizens of certain occupations. In fact, it is fake, and quite unsuccessful. There is a signature "People's Governor". Firstly, no one calls me that way, no one elected me. Secondly, there is the seal of the former mayor. Everything is done through "Photoshop", - said Pushilin in an interview with "RT". He categorically denied the authenticity of the letter.
American Secretary of State, we add, journalists at home are called a liar. And not only at home. Last year V.V. Putin also accused him of lying.
Kerry is young criticized The American government for the war, slandered the soldiers who fought in Vietnam (like himself), bad-mouthing the methods of warfare the United States. Much later, in 2013, already in the position of Secretary of State, he made a speech in which he called Syrian President Assad "a gangster and a murderer" and said that he was responsible for the death of 1429 people who allegedly died from the use of chemicals.
At the September 3 Foreign Affairs Committee, Senator Ron Johnson asked Kerry about what America knows about the opposition in Syria. The senator believes that if “at the initial stage,” this opposition, “maybe” was “more pro-Western, more moderate, more democratic,” but now it has “degraded”, al-Qaida elements have penetrated it. “Is it true that this happened?” Asked the senator (part of the question was unintelligible). Kerry replied: “No, in fact, this is basically wrong. This is basically wrong. The opposition is increasingly defined as moderate ... ”Kerry also spoke about the desire of this opposition to democratic processes, to protect minorities through the constitution, the secular future of Syria. And he added: "And this is very important." Kerry responded already from Russia. President Vladimir Putin accused the Secretary of State of lying to Congress.
William Biglow (16’s December 2012 publication at breitbart.com) explicitly called John Kerry a “pathological liar.”
And on Facebook's “RePeace” page, Kerry said very briefly, but clearly. He is called the “sad, sad doll” hired by “Exxon” and “Goldmann Sachs”, which has no conscience and no face of repentance on its face. Kerry is called a liar, a fighter for evil and a man who wants to kill even more innocent children, women and their fathers,
Therefore, we should not be surprised that Kerry uses fakes in his speeches.

Five ships from NATO
NATO is directing parts of its naval rapid response forces to the Baltic Sea to strengthen the defense of its Eastern European allies in connection with the Ukrainian crisis. It clarifies the "Reuters" referring to the spokesman of the Alliance naval command, four minesweepers and one support vessel will go "in the foreseeable future." The group will consist of ships from Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium and Estonia.
Now the ships are in the German port of Kiel.
It clarifies the “Voice of America”, the Alliance seeks not to escalate the situation in Ukraine, but “to demonstrate solidarity” and increase NATO’s combat readiness.
Earlier, representatives of the Alliance reported that the number of fighters patrolling the airspace over the Baltic will be tripled. As Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper reported on Thursday, six CF-18 fighters will be sent to Poland from this country. In addition, 20 Canadian officers will go to NATO headquarters in Brussels. Harper explained this decision with a response to "expansionism and militarism" on the part of Russia.
And in Poland, by the end of the year, the presence of the US military will be strengthened. According to Stars and Stripes, this was promised by the US Secretary of Defense, Chuck Hagel, who was “alarmed by the Russian aggression in the neighboring country”.
As always, NATO “seeks not to escalate the situation,” but it only does what it forces. The intention to "demonstrate solidarity" means a real round of the Cold War with Russia. What Harper and his ilk call “expansionism and militarism,” in fact, refers to the forces of the Alliance, who still see the Russians as their main enemy. Presumably, speeches about the "expansionism" of the Kremlin will help General Secretary Rasmussen to shake out money from the budgets of the crisis countries of Europe. Well, what about? After all, the Russians are coming!

Overstrained west
East dominance in global politics is about to become a fait accompli. Following the decolonization and the Asian economic miracle, a new wave of modernization of the Asian countries is coming. This time, the East is going to succeed in the arms race with its Western rivals, becoming one of the most influential centers of power on the globe. The West cannot oppose anything: the crisis “killed” the budgets of European states. Against the background of the budget deficit, the purchase of weapons looks like an expensive pleasure.
This is evidenced by data cited by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute and published in the media 14 April. Thus, the total amount of military spending worldwide in 2013 compared to 2012 in the year decreased by 1,9%.
Trends in savings on the purchase of weapons are characteristic of Western countries. For example, last year the United States reduced the funding of its armed forces by 7,8%. According to experts, this was done in connection with the end of the war in Iraq, as well as in anticipation of the upcoming withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan. Auto budget cuts, approved by Congress in 2011, also played a significant role. However, the United States military budget, equaling 1747 billions of dollars, remains the largest in the world.
In previous decades, the United States overran the cost of excessive military spending. Despite the end of the Cold War, Washington continued purchasing weapons and reinforcement of the armed forces. Americans spent more on financing the military than the rest of the nations of the world combined.
Today, let us add to this, NATO is again shaking the air with “peace-loving” statements. The external enemy is known, the propagandists of the West are already tired of repeating about the "annexation" of the Crimea by the Kremlin. True, the budgets of the NATO countries covered by the crisis are not the same ...

Fear America! Putin is coming
Foreign media are increasingly inclined to think that Russia does not need to fight to achieve its strategic goals. There is no need to bullet nuclear missiles in the direction of the United States, Poland should not be trampled down with kirzacs, you should not spend a whole week on the seizure of Sweden and another two weeks on the war with Finland. Even a petition for the return of Alaska is not needed. The world is about to surrender to Russia. Raise paws in front of tricky Putin.
On the Polish resource "Blogpublika" appeared an article by Adam Petrasevich in which it is fascinating to explain why the king will soon begin to rule Russia quite royally. And she for this and the war is not required.
Moscow has a weapon that can destroy the United States. No, Petrasevich does not mean nuclear missiles at all. Moscow can simply announce that it is starting to trade oil for rubles. Yes, albeit for a different currency, but not for dollars. Russia is already on the way to such deals: it has announced that it will buy five hundred thousand barrels of oil from Iran a day by barter. If Russia starts selling all of its oil, as well as gas, for another currency, then hundreds of billions of dollars will go home to the United States. “And then,” the author exclaims, “Americans will taste hyperinflation, such as it was in the Weimar Republic at the beginning of the 20 of the 20th century.” And that's what will happen to the planet:
It seems that the time is right for the people of the United States to compose a petition for the “electronic government” site. Its content may be something like this:
“Dear Mr. Barack Obama, Nobel Peace Prize winner! Please forget about the Crimea. Do not scare the Russians, and especially their Tsar Putin, with various sanctions. Do not tease the bear. Let Putin sells his gas, his oil and his palladium. Let him sell them - because he sells them for our dollars. With each transaction, we become a little richer, and the Fed can continue to work paper wonders. Mr Obama! Don't make a bankrupt out of your homeland. Or were you really born in Kenya? ”

These terrible Russian tanks
Two large German publications decided to send a petition to the Bundestag with a request to remove Russian tanks from the memorial to the fallen Soviet soldiers in the Tiergarten. "Bild" and "Berliner Zeitung" signed a petition with the following requirement: we do not want Russian tanks and other military symbols at the Russian memorial at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.
There is a lot of text in the petition: from horror stories about Putin’s tanks threatening Europe to absurdities about some kind of “peaceful revolution” through which Russia allegedly crossed the Crimea.
The memorial complex, located in 300 meters from the Brandenburg Gate, was opened on the site in the autumn of the mass grave of Soviet soldiers 1945 (according to some information, about 2,5 thousand soldiers and officers are buried here). On the opening day of the memorial in Berlin, a parade of Allied forces was held. In addition to the two Soviet tanks T-34, which are mounted on pedestals on both sides of the memorial, there are two guns on it that took part in the battles for Berlin. In the center of the memorial is a sculpture of a Soviet soldier. Above the complex waving Russian tricolor.
The calls of two German publications to dismantle the memorial in Berlin caused a negative reaction. Moreover, the petition was awarded criticism not only in Russia, but also in Germany itself. In particular, in response to a newspaper petition, the Berlin City Hall stated that people who signed the appeal did not understand the meaning of the monuments at all. In the mayor's office, the “converts” were reminded that in the German capital today there are three large memorial complexes erected in memory of the dead Soviet soldiers. One of them is a complex in Tiergarten, the other two are in Pankov and Treptow Park. In total, in the ground beneath them lies the remains of 23 thousands of Soviet soldiers and officers.
The central authorities of Germany decided not to turn off the brain. From the Bundestag came the news that the dismantling of the memorial in the Tiergarten will not.
It should be noted that for the sake of the rating, the German yellow press will easily go to an exaggerated sensation or give facts in a slightly toasted form. It will go the same way as the yellow press in any other country.
It is even good that the petition appeared in “Bilde”: the newspaper apparently wanted to increase its popularity, but its readers called the appeal “simply ridiculous” and expressed a lot of other unflattering epithets. In the future, the editors of Bilda will probably think about: is it worth it to go against its readers?

There is nowhere bigger
In the south of the Korean Peninsula, "the largest in history" began, according to local generals, air force exercises involving the United States Air Force. The purpose of the maneuvers is to develop combat skills in an environment as close as possible to the conditions of a real military conflict. Joint ground maneuvers that began on February 24 continue. This is accompanied by an extremely cheeky information warfare, which, apparently, is far from being only against Pyongyang.
In total, 103 military aircraft and about 1400 military personnel, including US marines, will participate in current military exercises. “This is a response to North Korea, which is trying to inflate tensions in the region,” the South Korean Defense Ministry said. In Seoul, they refer to the threats of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un to launch a new nuclear test cycle, recent mutual shelling in coastal waters, and Pyongyang’s attempts to resume rocket tests.
Washington and Seoul tried to spoil the North Koreans a great national holiday, says Alexey Andreev with “However.” After all, 9 in April in the DPRK celebrated the 21 anniversary from the historic day when Kim Jong Il was elected chairman of the State Defense Committee. And in 2014, his son Kim Jong-un was approved for the same position on the same day.

Victims of the Coming Law
One of the representatives of the Socialist Party of India proposed to abolish the death penalty for rapists. Another comrade made a more radical proposal: to execute both the one who committed this crime and the one who was raped.
The head of the Socialist Party, Moulayam Singh Yadav, made a loud statement in his pre-election speech in the city of Moradabad. He promised that if he became the head of the government of Uttar Pradesh, he would seek the abolition of the recently adopted law on the death penalty for rapists.
Abu Asim Azmi, another representative of the Socialist Party of India, believes that women and women should be hanged with rapists. “Rape in Islam is punishable by hanging. But this applies only to the man, but to the woman nothing. Although the woman is guilty, "- he said, commenting on the words of his ally.
“It is necessary to hang up any woman, married or unmarried, if she sleeps with a man, regardless of whether her consent was given. Both need to hang. You shouldn’t allow such a thing even with the consent of the woman, ”the politician emphasized.
The last of the politicians, it seems, was going to hang all the women of India - just to get into power. For such wild statements are made in India not for the good of society, but because of parliamentary elections (deputies are elected to the lower house of parliament).
