Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara has tendered his apology after his remark on a sexual assault case in Bengaluru triggered massive public anger. After a video emerged yesterday showing a man groping a woman on a street in Bengaluru, the Congress leader had suggested that such incidents occur in big cities – drawing criticism from the opposition BJP.<\/p>\n
Mr Parameshwara said that his statement was misunderstood, and he doesn’t want it to be twisted further.<\/p>\n
“I want to clarify that the statement I made yesterday wasn’t understood properly, I am someone who has always had a lot of concern for the safety of women. I have ensured that Nirbhaya funds are utilised well for the safety of women. I don’t want my statement to be twisted. If any woman has been hurt by this, I express my regret and apologise,” he said.<\/p>\n
