Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav, while congratulating the nation on International Women’s Day, said that there is a need to radically change the attitude towards women.
“The government and society should always work for the upliftment of women. The more progressive women are, the more progressive society will be considered. In India, women and daughters have been respected since ancient times,” he said.
In a statement here on Sunday, Akhilesh Yadav said that under the BJP government, women in Uttar Pradesh are the most unsafe. Crimes against women are rampant. The BJP government has failed to protect women. The government has failed to provide them with respect and employment.
Yadav said that the Lucknow and UP police are very advanced in manipulating data related to women. “They hide the true figures. If NCRB data is considered, women in Uttar Pradesh are the most unsafe in the country. Under the BJP government, backward classes, Dalits, tribals, minorities, and women are facing the most injustice and atrocities. This is a grave sin,” he alleged.
