Jammu, Dec 26: To register protest against recent Delhi gang rape case, over 100 activists of BJP Mahila Morcha under the leadership of their State President Sakina Bano held a protest at Canal Road here on Wednesday.
Raising slogans against the Congress-led UPA government at the centre for its "total failure" to ensure safety of the females, Bano said that the recent act of gang rape of a girl in Delhi followed by brutal torture is a blot on the Indian society. "This incident has shaken the whole nation and the people are on roads. Females in our state too have been subjected to rape and the decades old laws are not enough to deal with such crime effectively. The frequent cases of rape can be checked only by bringing in strong laws to deal such crime with provision of capital punishment and speedy trial of those involved in such cases. and this has become all the more important in view of the repeated cases of rapes in the capital city of the country," she demanded.
Sakina claimed that the BJP and its Mahila Morcha have always fought for the rights of women, their dignified social life and security. She said that the party has granted 33 per cent reservation to women in its organizational setup, which itself is a proof that the party do not discriminate on the has equal concern for females as it has for males.
Mahila Morcha leaders and activists including Sushma Manhas, Raj Rani Jamwal, Priya Sethi, Anju Dogra, Bimla Padha, Parveen Arora, Sheela Handoo, Swaran Arora, Tripta Jamwal, Kanta Devi, Heena, Juhi Gupta, Arti Dogra, Meenakshi Singh, Renu Bala, Jyoti Gupta, Renu Dogra, Namrata Singh, Bholi Devi, Pushpa Devi, Kranti Devi and Sabita Gupta took part in the protest. |
