PART#2 - "MY SHINING INDIA"

The newspaper article pointed out few things which brought out the real but a horrific picture of today's democracy...

These are the reactions of a few top class officials and politicians of our country in regard to the incident:


1) Former member of the NCW team, Ms Lamba, remarked that women should be careful about the way they dress because such incidents are a result of blindly aping the West.  "After 64 years of freedom, it is not right to give blanket directions and say don't wear this or don't wear that. Be comfortable, but at the same time be careful about how you dress," she had said. Ms Lamba was removed by the commission after she revealed the name of the victim at a press conference.

2) MP Industries Minister also made a sexist remark against NCW team which had gone to meet the victim. He said, "By the visuals I saw, it looked like the girl had gone for a fashion parade. Women's fashion, lifestyle and conduct should be in accordance with Indian culture...women should not wear clothes which provoke others (to misbehave with them)"

3) RTI activist and KMSS General Secretary said that the recent molestation of the Guwahati girl may have been part of a greater conspiracy to stain the image of the CM and destabilize the government. He said the news channel is owned by a famous politician of the state and that the entire incident had been planned, directed, recorded, telecast and uploaded on You Tube by the news channel with a political intention so as to destroy the Chief Minister’s career. "It is to be noted that he is secretly trying to become the next Chief Minister and that he could be trying this with different foul means."

4) Ruling on the same lines, the Chief Minister of the state said that he would not tender any apology to anyone regarding the disclosure of the girl’s name by Ms Lamba in front of the media as it was not his fault.

5) The state police also received criticism for reaching the spot 45 minutes after the incident as there was also no police patrol. Bystanders and shop owners had remained mute spectators as the 'shameful drama' was going on. 

6) The women's panel has also hit out at the news channel which recorded the original footage which later became viral on YouTube, saying the camera crew continued recording even though the girl was begging for help. They said the victim told them how she could see the camera on her and begged for help but he just kept shooting instead. "She told us that he did not rescue her, in spite of her pleas".

7) On its defense the Editor of the news channel was of the view that it was only because of the footage that such a mass movement has been possible, and that this footage has been of aid to the police in identifying the violators of this young woman’s honor.

JUST THNK FOR A MOMENT….

May be the girl experienced the worst nightmare of her life that day n may be she won’t be able to recover from the trauma her entire life…But what did the administration of her country do in return….They just sat back and commented on her dressing style and kept blaming other government bodies, corrupt politicians and officials for the late reaction to the incident. Then everyone went silent and back to living their normal lives not realizing the fact that sumthing like this could someday happen to them too.

BUT WHY…ISN’T IT OUR COUNTRY??

AND IN OUR DEMOCRACY, SHUDN’T WE BE THE FIRST PRIORITY OF THE NATION??

DOESN'T OUR CONSTITUTION, IRRESPECTIVE OF GENDER, VOW TO PROVIDE US ALL WITH ECONOMIC & SOCIAL SECURITY??


N IF ITS SO, THEN….
