Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge has hit out at the Centre over women’s safety, saying Prime Minister Narendra Modi has talked about the issue many times in his speeches from the Red Fort but his government has not done anything concrete that could prevent crimes against women.
Kharge asserted that crimes against women are a serious issue and preventing these crimes is a big challenge for the country.
हमारी महिलाओं के साथ हुआ कोई भी अन्याय असहनीय है, पीड़ादायक है और घोर निंदनीय है।
हमें ‘बेटी बचाओ’ नहीं ‘बेटी को बराबरी का हक़ सुनिश्चित करो’ चाहिए।
महिलाओं को संरक्षण (protection) नहीं, भयमुक्त वातावरण (safety) चाहिए।
देश में हर घंटे महिलाओं के ख़िलाफ़ 43 अपराध रिकॉर्ड…

“We all have to unite and find solutions to this by taking along every section of the society,” the Congress chief said in a post in Hindi on X.
