New Delhi, Dec. 27 -- Congress leader Mumtaz Patel on Saturday hit out at the central government following the Delhi High Court's order that suspended the sentence and granted bail to former Uttar Pradesh MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar in the 2017 Unnao rape case, and said that the government talks about putting animals in shelters, but they are not able to put rapists in jail.

Speaking to ANI, Mumtaz Patel said, "On behalf of all the women in the country, we are asking the government for protection and justice for the victim.
