School girl stops going to school over stalking, molestation; mother threatens suicide

Leave a comment

A ninth standard school girl is compelled to drop out from school because of a goon who stalks her, molests her. Her widow mother who was heckled and threatened by the police instead of taking action against the has threatened to commit suicide along with her four daughters.

This also raises a big question on the tall convictions of ‘Beti Bachao Beti Padao’, made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Still today girls are compelled to leave education and stop going to school because of goons eve-teasing, molesting, stalking even rapes and gang-raped.

The recent incident has surfaced in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh where this school girl was compelled to stop going to school over regular harassment by her neighbour. Whenever she would go out of her home to buy vegetables, groceries or due to some other work, Ankit (the accused) who lives in her neighbourhood stalks her and molest her. When the mother of the girl went to police station to file complaint she was heckled and turned out by the cops.

Will Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and his government take action against these errant police personel who are supposed to take action against the accused but threaten the victim and her family instead. Shame on Uttar Pradesh police that makes big convictions but the real picture is scary. This also raises a big question if Yogi Adityanath government will react or remain silent. Will the buldozer of Yogi Adityanath raise the house of this man who has become a nightmare for this girl to the extent of stop going to school. Finally, where is Priyanka Gandhi Vadra who created a storm during the Assembly elections in the state with her campaign, ‘Beti Hoon Lad Sakti Hoon’?

Really have no words to express, all I have to say is “जिन्हें नाज़ है हिंद पर वह कहां हैं!”, the famous lines from Guru Dutt sahib’s iconic film, ‘Pyaasa’ (1957), seems to be so appropriate for such situations. This shameful incident also raises a big question on the people and society around- How long would people stay quiet and silent? Would they only react if such incident would happen to them? Fact, if people raise their voice togather then such incidents would not take place and girls, women would be safe and secured.

Only Bobbitt’s Law for rapists will infuse fear-factor

1 Comment

Someone asked why I did not react on the recent seven-old rape and murder in Delhi. Honestly, there was a notion that such things would take a back seat especially after the protests that took place during ‘Nirbhaya’ gangrape.

However, I have an observation here and would like to share as I strongly feel just by calling the victim by different names to protect her identity cuts no ice unless and until she is protected or saved. Like in case of Jyoti Singh Pandey, the media called her by different names to market their stories, some called her, ‘Amanat’, ‘Damini’, ‘Delhi Brave Heart’, and ‘Nirbhaya’, the name that finally became the cult name. Rather than all these, the need of the hour is stringent punishment and it should be no less than Bobbitt’s Law. I have discussed, debated, argued umpteen times on this issue.

If carnal desire is so strong that it destroys innocent lives then chop the organ. I have been saying this in my live programes and editorials. I remained silent because nothing will change unless ‘stringent punishment’ is given. The ‘fear factor’ is missing which needs to be infused.

I covered the Delhi Brave Heart (Jyoti Singh Pandey) case and have seen the protests thaty simply went berserk especially the day then Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde had ordered a lathi charge on the media persons who had been reporting from India Gate. Honestly, it felt good to see the protest but really sad to see that anger or agression has died down. Nothing has changed, nothing would change… Rapes, gangrapes, molestations, eve-teasings, stalkings continues …

Shame! Incidents like Ankita still happens while ‘Amrit Dhara’ continue to flow

Leave a comment

Ankita was a 16-year-old girl who dared to say no to a filthy goon who proposed to her, bugged her. This led to the death of this young girl. Well, this is the crux of the story. The incident has once again churned  number of questions –

1) What was the local administration doing when Ankita was being harassed?

2) Where does such goons get the courage from! If administration was strong then this would not have happened.

3) In Dumka, state hospital did not have the basic ointment or medicine, hence she was referred to Ranchi. Why? The stock at state hospital not updated? Or vested interests take home?

4) Who will pay for the death which predominantly happened due to non-availability of proper medicines at proper time?

Now, why should girls like Ankita have to die just because she did not want to accept a proposal of a filth? Irony, we talk of women empowerment, safety and security of women but the truth is incidents like Ankita. Nothing allien, it happens, happening 24×7 across remotest regions of India. Some gets reported, while rest stay under oblivion.

Is this what our freedom fighters had dreamt off? We recently observed 75th Independence Day and observed ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’… Indians felt proud to fly national tricolour under the programme ‘har ghar tiranga’ though to me it was mostly a FAD as people have forgotten to take down the flag which is also important. On August 15th from the ramparts of Red Fort, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced Amrit Dhara… I may be blunt, but do we really deserve to observe such Special days when we cannot protect the dignity of our women …

The question now will be raised about ‘upbringing’ and ‘grooming’ of the filth who killed the 16-year-old Ankita but it’s highly time criminals like these should given stringent most punishment, something that would infuse a terror or fear-factor in these goons. The accused should be flogged in open and handed over to the public. This may should awkward but time has come to take such actions as only then innocent girls like Ankita will be able to believe in ‘Amrit Dhara’ flowing in this country…
