Today's Highlighted Video Story: A comment in very poor taste by a senior Congress MLA in the Karnataka assembly has been facing a backlash leading to his apology and criticism by his own party leaders. Former Speaker K. R. Ramesh Kumar, in the context of MLAs not listening to the Speaker, said that "if rape was inevitable, one should lie back and enjoy it." The remark was greeted with laughter by the Speaker and others but the crass comment has left many far from amused.
