| Voice for Rights criticizes Govt's failure to protect children rights | | | Jammu, Aug 24: Voice for Rights an NGO working for the protection of Human Rights in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, today held a press conference here at Press Club and criticized the state government for being insensitive towards the protection of rights of the children.
It accused state government of fulfilling its vested interests and ignoring the plight of the common masses.
Addressing the press conference, Deepika Singh Rajawat, Founder, Voice for Rights accused state government of not implementing the laws related to the protection of child rights in the state. She said it is unfortunate that even the present government has miserably failed in setting up a protective mechanism for the children in Jammu and Kashmir. Taking the serious note of the recent incident in which an eleven year old child was brutally beaten up by a Jammu based businessman namely Kanwar Chabra, She demanded immediate action against the culprit and appealed the authorities not to let the guilty go free. She said that the child was employed by the culprit as domestic help at his residence in the violation of Child Labour Act, 1986. Highlighting the importance of Act, she said that the Act was brought to stop the practice that deprives children of their childhood, and is harmful to their physical and mental development. Victim, Raju (name changed) was severely beaten up by his employer as his father wanted to take him back to home village. Pale yellow and red colored bruises on the child's buttocks easily explain how cruel was the business who was brutally beating the minor Raju, his domestic help, for the last seven to eight months. |
