STATE CONGRESSMEN AT LUCKNOW AFTER A CANDLE MARCH UNDER PAYING NATIONAL-WIDE TRIBUTE TO GANG-RAPE AND DEATH VICTIMS ON FRIDAY EVENING |
REPORT BY SUCHIT BAJPAI: LUCKNOW
A woman was raped in Unnao district, 50 Kilometer away from
state capital of Uttar Pradesh, and her father died in police custody -- both
the incidents are in limelight; while the brutal murder and gang-rape report of
8 years old girl from nomad community of Kathua district in J&K has also
stand a front of protest around the country; rather the opposition parties are
constantly targeting to the BJP and its allied parties.
On the behest of congress state president, Raj Babar, the
congress activists organized a candle march in Lucknow Hajratganj area on Friday evening this week. The
overcrowded march ended at Gandhi Pratima Sthal Hajratganj Lucknow.
The crowd expressed the condolence and paid their tribute to
the deceased by keeping 2 minutes silence.
They also prayed with God to confer an affirmative mind
set-up to the Government of Uttar Pradesh and the government of J&K for
taking stern action against the accused persons.
Mr Krishn Kant, congress spokesperson, has said in a
statement that the national-wide candle March programmes have been organised. The
union and the state government both have been failed to provide the protection
to the women. The BJP shouts slogans ‘Beti Bchao, Beti Padhao’; now is being
asked by the public that ‘Betiya Bachengi, Tabhi To Padhengi’ (the daughters
shall be safe, then they will be able to go school).
He said that the public now began to hide their daughters.
That the high court had to direct the BJP government to take action is very
shameful situation to the democratic elected government.
