NEW DELHI: Madhya Pradesh minister
Kailash Vijayvargiya
on Wednesday emphasised the importance of imparting sanskar (values) to ensure that children "don't become like Sonam", the prime accused in the Meghalaya honeymoon murder case.
"It is good to educate children, but it is equally important to instil values. Without 'sanskar', children become like Sonam. This daughter has brought shame to Indore," news agency PTI quoted Vijayvargiya as saying. He was speaking at inauguration event for various development projects in Indore.
Further, the BJP leader said that educated kids who are not cultured, "live like animals, leading a bestial life."
"She told me that if a woman lacks remorse, affection, and love, she becomes like Putana — the demoness who tried to kill Lord Krishna," Vijayvargiya added, referring to Sadhvi Kankeshwari Devi, a Hindu seer.
The senior MLA's remark comes days after he
expressed his dislike
for "women in revealing clothes."
Sonam Raghuvanshi is accused of plotting the murder of her husband, Indore-based businessman Raja Raghuvanshi, while the newly-married couple was honeymooning in the north-eastern Meghalaya state.
Five people have been arrested, including Sonam and three assailants. All are currently in the custody of Meghalaya Police.

Air India crash: Gujarat ex-CM Vijay Rupani believed 1206 his lucky no.
Gujarat ex-CM Vijay Rupani GANDHINAGAR: For Gujarat's former chief minister Vijay Rupani , the number 1206 was a symbol of fortune, a silent companion through the years. He believed in it with a tender faith. The registration plates of all his vehicles - scooters and cars - had 1206 on them. Friends say it had always been his lucky charm. But fate gave it a cruel twist. On June 12 - 12/06 - the same number that followed him for decades marked the day his journey ended. Rupani was aboard the AI flight that crashed moments after takeoff from Ahmedabad. He was en route to London to meet his wife and daughter. He never arrived. The ex-CM, now the party in charge of Punjab, had put off his visit to the UK from June 5 to 12, owing to Ludhiana West bypoll on June 19, said Punjab BJP chief Sunil Jakhar. "This is very unfortunate. This is how destiny and fate play out that he came into harm's way. He was to leave along with his wife on June 5, but rescheduled his visit to campaign for Ludhiana West bypoll," Jakhar told TOI. Rajkot mourns demise of ex-CM Rupani, its friendly neighbour In Rajkot, the city ex-CM Vijay Rupani had served and loved, the news settled like a slow, heavy fog. He wasn't just a political figure - he was a familiar face, a neighbour, a man who had time for everyone. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Live Comfortably: 60 m² Prefab Bungalow for Seniors in Inezgane Pre Fabricated Homes | Search Ads Search Now Undo Those who knew him remember his humility more than his achievements. He had been instrumental in key development works - the new airport, AIIMS - but it was his quiet presence, his unwavering availability, that left a deeper mark. "He was a tall neta, yes," said Sanjay Mehta, a neighbour. "But he lived like one of us. Always kind. Always ready to help. You'd never know he held such a big position. To us, he was Vijaybhai - our neighbour, friend." Politicians from across the political spectrum condoled Rupani's death and paid tribute. Authorities involved in rescue and relief operations confirmed he was among the dead. His nephew Mehul Rupani said, "The family is devastated to know about the sad demise of uncle. Anjali aunty (Rupani's wife) and her daughter are returning from London, as are other relatives from the US. We will follow the processes as advised by govt to take custody of his mortal remains. Family is in shock." Rupani's personal assistant Shailesh Mandaliya, who dropped him off at the airport, said, "Few minutes after dropping him, we heard the news." Born on Aug 2, 1956 in Yangon, Myanmar into a Jain family, Rupani, was the seventh and youngest child. His family moved to Rajkot in 1960 due to political instability in Myanmar.
