The National Commission of Women issued a notice to Sinha yesterday and gave a 24-hour deadline to respond to it.

Later, in a statement, Sinha had clarified that he gave his opinion that betting should be legalised and that if the laws cannot be enforced that does not mean that laws should not be made.

“This is as erroneous as saying that if rape is inevitable one should lie back and enjoy it.

“I regret any hurt caused as the same was inadvertent and unintended. I reiterate my deep sense of regard and respect for women and commitment to gender issues,” he said.
