‘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, Feb 19: A public interest litigation (PIL) has been filed in the Karnataka High Court, seeking a stay on Anand Singh functioning as Minister of Forests, Environment and Ecology contending that there are criminal cases filed against him by the Ministry.

"A stay be granted prohibiting Anand Singh from functioning as the Cabinet Minister for the Ministry of Forests, Environment and Ecology. Any other order that the Honourable Court may deem fit in the interest of justice and equity," the PIL prays.

The petition, filed by advocate Vijay Kumar, said that the Chief Minister has allocated the portfolio of the Ministry of Forests, Environment and Ecology to Singh without considering the fact that there are several criminal faces filed against him by the Ministry.

It said that the allocation of the Ministry of Forests, Environment and Ecology portfolio to Singh is in the conflict of interest.

"The holding of the post of Cabinet minister for the Ministry of Forests, Environment and Ecology is against public interest and completely in conflict of interest as he has business for which the subject Ministry is the overseeing authority and further he will also have access to the case files which again is in conflict of interest," the PIL said.

PIL adds that "it is pertinent and absolutely necessary" to deny the incumbent from accessing files related to his cases and from taking any decisions which may provide him with pecuniary benefits through his businesses.
