The BJP’s slogan of Beti Bachao Beti Padhao is the biggest farce as the saffron party cannot protect women and the alleged rapists are released from the court, said the Trinamul Congress today.
The ruling party in its X handle wrote: “In @BJP4India- ruled states women aren’t the prime targets of savage sexual crimes they’re condemned to a living hell where justice is a cruel myth and the system actively crushes any hope of recourse.”
Reacting sharply on the release of Kuldeep Singh Sengar, BJP MLA, who was arrested in connection with the alleged rape of a minor girl at Unnao in Uttar Pradesh and was recently released from the court, Dr Shashi Panja, state minister for women and child development and social welfare, said: “The BJP should be condemned for this shameful act. Why is the BJP silent on the matter,” she questioned.
She added: “The minor girl, who is an adult now, lost her father who was allegedly murdered by the BJP goons. Again, two of her maternal aunts had been killed by the criminals. The BJP killed the witnesses and the party has exposed itself before the nation,” she said.
She said a 20 year old college student in Odisha was driven to self-immolation after relentless sexual harassment by professor. She finally succumbed to her burns.
In Madhya Pradesh, a woman was allegedly raped by the son of BJP’s Shivpuri Municipal Council president. She consumed sleeping pills and rat poison because surviving in BJP’s regime is worse than death.
Coming down heavily on the godi media, she said: “Muzzled and obedient, burying stories under layers of sycophancy, it did not hesitate not to carry these reports. The BJP’s true nature should be exposed before the country,” she maintained.
