City Samajwadi Party leader Abu Azmi’s motormouth was on full throttle in the wake of the mass molestation incident on Sunday in Bengaluru. Azmi stayed true to type, blaming the victims for getting groped and molested.

According to him, women should not be out at night with strangers (only father or husband allowed). He also compared women with ‘sugar’ and ‘petrol’, saying that “where there is sugar, there will be ants, and where there is petrol, there will be fire”. Who gives this man all these phrases? Should there be a dictionary to document Azmi’s inane mutterings? Perhaps.
