Girls complain when someone touches them,and even when someone doesn't touch them. It becomes a problem then ... If rape happens with or without consent,it should be punished as prescribed in Islam." He also said,
"See,I don't know what context he said it in. But,at times,the wrong people are awarded the death penalty. Boys do it in josh (Hindi:excitement),but what can I say in this? The death sentence should be given. I won't speak against Islam." [2] Azmi's comments were widely criticized in India.
