Chandigarh July 3 (IANS) Actor and Chandigarh s BJP MP Kirron Kher who last year sparked a row after saying that a gang rape victim should have been more careful has assured safety for women who travel late in the night in the city.
Kirron tweeted a photograph in which she is seen standing next to a Chandigarh Police banner stating: "We care for you women pick and drop facility after 10 p.m."
With this Kirron used a quote by American author Ayn Rand: "The question isn t who is going to let me; it s who is going to stop me."
"All the awesome women in Chandigarh let s live this quote. And remember I‘m here for you and will not let anything come in the way of you achieving your dreams. Yes late night travel included " she added.
Kirron was here for Van Mahotsav 2018.
Last year her statement that a gang rape victim should have been more cautious and not boarded an auto-rickshaw in which three men were already sitting had caused a furore.
She clarified it was "only in the context of certain precautions" that women should take and that it was "not intended to blame the victim or shaming her".
