‘Rapes gone up by 63.79% during Modi rule’: Kushboo, Chaturvedi slam BJP for protecting criminals

Bengaluru, Apr 22: All India Congress Committee spokesperson Kushboo Sundar has come down heavily on the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi for not being able to punish those involved in heinous crimes in BJP-ruled States.

Addressing presspersons here, she said the nation had witnessed the gruesome rape and murder of an eight-year-old in Jammu and Kashmir temple, an 11-year-old in Surat, and an eight-month-old infant being sexually assaulted in Indore, all in States ruled by the BJP.

“Despite this, the Prime Minister has maintained a stoic silence. He should take his own advice that he gave to former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and speak up. While he is silent in India, he chose to speak in London saying rape incidents should not be politicised,” she said.

“In Uttar Pradesh, we saw how instead of filing an FIR against Kuldeep Sengar, BJP MLA, to ensure justice, they assaulted and killed the victim’s father in police custody. In Khatua, they stood shoulder to shoulder with the accused,” she alleged.

AICC communications convener Priyanka Chaturvedi alleged after Mr. Modi came to power, cases of rape have gone up by 63.79% and cases of attempted rape have increased by 35.31% from 2014 to 2016 in the country. However, the conviction rate for crimes against women has been on a decline. “The BJP is working to create a Mahila Mukt Bharat,” she added.

Not only rapists.. Modi trying to protect all saffron major terrorists. anybody arguing that modi not tried to protect, then answer me for these - 

 

Many saffron criminals convicted in terror and communal activity aquitted under modi rule.

 

Recenlty aseemananda aquitted in Mecca Masjid case, before aseemananda only revealed that he did such terror activities and now NIA found that no evidence...!

 

Aseemananda's many cases NIA closing one by one for giving complete clean chit

 

There are many incidents for NIA acting as a saffron tool

 

 

In Justice Loya murder case why Amit Shah not get arrested till now and they are making favourable condition by keeping saffron minded lawyers

 

If Modi and his bakths not the reason/responsible for the hike in numbers, then why modi scared of public? He came to power by boasting and public speeches, and after getting power he hardly faced public. And now he didnt speak on this shocking kathua rape inncident. And also at the same time he trying to protest those rapists.

One correction is there.. Under UPA rule rape issues were there much but not reported or complainted this much. Those issues are became unknown. Either girl hesitated to complain or there is no much evidence for that.

 

People and media not thinking about this and unwantedly blaming Modi rule

Bengaluru, April 3: The ASHA worker, who was attacked by locals in Sadiq layout area in Bengaluru while conducting a coronavirus survey, on Friday expressed satisfaction with police action in the matter.

"I am happy that five people have been arrested for attacking me while I was conducting a survey in view of COVID-19 in Sadiq layout area in Bengaluru on April 1. We serve the people and work for the betterment of the society," Krishnaveni, the ASHA worker, told news agency here.

ASHA workers, who were deployed to spread awareness about coronavirus and identify suspected cases, were allegedly attacked by a group of locals in the area on Wednesday.

"We had been conducting surveys for the past 14 days ever since a positive coronavirus case was identified in the area. A person came and asked why we were gathering information. We informed him that a positive case was identified in the area," Krishnaveni said.

"They made an announcement from the mosque not to give any information to us. Afterwards, several people came out of their houses and started attacking us," she added.

Police initiated an investigation and have made arrests in the matter.

This comes as the country is under a 21-day lockdown to prevent the spread of coronavirus, which has claimed the lives of at least 56 people and infected over 2,000 people.

Bengaluru, July 28: Former prime minister and JD(S) chief H D Deve Gowda today threatened to launch a state-wide agitation in against the amendments made to the Karnataka Land Reforms Act.

Gowda’s opposition to the new law comes even as Congress leader Siddaramaiah is also doggedly pursuing it.

Demanding that the state government immediately rollback the ordinance empowering these amendments, the octogenarian leader said he personally would take to streets if the government failed to budge.

The B S Yediyurappa government has liberalised the land reforms law by removing restrictions on non-agriculturists from purchasing and owning farm lands.

The government has also amended the APMC Act and has tweaked labour laws, which are all “against the interest of the state and must be rolled back,” Gowda said.

Speaking to reporters here, Gowda stated that he had already written thrice to Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa in this regard. "The ordinances have to be taken back. The amendments to Karnataka Land Reforms Act, by repealing sections 79-A, B and C, is an anti-farmer move. The APMC Act amendment, too, is against the interest of the state. The government has failed to speak about the impact of these amendments," said Gowda, who is now a Rajya Sabha member.

Elaborating on the amendment to the Land Reform Act, the JD(S) patriarch opined that by throwing open agricultural land ownership to anybody at all, the government was only helping real estate developers while pushing farmers into a “vulnerable” situation.

Amidst all this, there are now reports of funds misappropriation in Covid-19 relief measures and in procurement of medical equipment, he said, adding that it seemed like only the corrupt became stronger over time.

Further, Gowda lambasted both national parties for creating political unrest, referring to the ongoing political crisis in Rajasthan and the recent developments in Madhya Pradesh. However, he added that he would not wish to dwell on it much, while emphasising that his focus was primarily on strengthening his own party at this point in time.

Bengaluru, May 20: An owner of a hair cutting training salon in the city has given shelter to the jobless IT professionals and migrant workers hailing from north-eastern states and Nepal, in his salon.

Rahul Rai, the owner said, "The moment the lockdown started then I received many complaints from different corners that several persons became jobless and they were thrown out of their rented accommodations."

"They are from different states of the North-east and some of them are from Nepal also. I converted my hair-cutting training salon into a shelter home for them," he added.

A person who got shelter at the salon said, "I lost my job after the lockdown started. I was facing a lot of issues after my landlord had evicted me from my rented accommodation. I spent about a week nearby a lake. I managed to contact Rahul Rai through Facebook and he rescued me along with many others."
