BJP leader Kailash Vijayvargiya had remarked that women who cross the Lakshman Rekha will be punished. He had withdrawn his comment later. In January 2013, former Madhya Pradesh Industry Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya who is currently the national general secretary of the BJP has remarked that women who breach their limits pay the price. He said, "One has to abide by certain moral limits. If you cross this limit you will be punished, just like Sita was abducted by Ravana."

His comment had stirred controversy and he had later withdrawn it after the BJP central leadership expressed disapproval. He said he had not intended to cause offense.
