Women Unsafe Under Home Ministry’s Nose: Congress after MP’s Chain Snatched
The recent brazen chain-snatching incident involving Congress MP R Sudha in Delhi’s Chanakyapuri has sent shockwaves across the nation, leaving many concerned about the safety of women in the country’s capital. The incident, which saw a bike-borne assailant snatch Sudha’s chain and tear her clothes, has sparked widespread outrage and calls for action from the authorities.
In the wake of this incident, Kerala Pradesh Mahila Congress President Jebi Mather has lashed out at the Home Ministry, saying that women are unsafe in Delhi, under its very nose. “What does the double-engine government have to say about this?” Mather asked, her question echoing the sentiments of many who are demanding answers from the government.
The incident, which took place on a busy street in Chanakyapuri, is just the latest in a long string of violent crimes against women in Delhi. The city has long been plagued by issues related to women’s safety, with numerous cases of molestation, assault, and even murder reported in recent years. Despite the government’s repeated assurances that steps are being taken to improve women’s safety, incidents like Sudha’s chain-snatching continue to occur, leaving many to wonder if the authorities are truly committed to addressing this issue.
Sudha, who has been a vocal critic of the government’s handling of women’s safety issues, has taken to social media to recount her harrowing experience. “I was walking on the street when a bike-borne assailant suddenly stopped in front of me and snatched my chain,” she wrote. “Not only did he take my chain, but he also tore my clothes and tried to take advantage of me. It was a terrifying experience, and I’m still shaken by it.”
Sudha’s account has sparked widespread outrage, with many calling for the government to take immediate action to address the issue of women’s safety in Delhi. Mather, in her statement, accused the Home Ministry of being complicit in the government’s failure to ensure women’s safety. “This is not an isolated incident,” she said. “Women are being targeted and attacked on the streets of Delhi, and the Home Ministry is doing nothing to stop it. It’s unacceptable, and we demand that the government takes immediate action to address this issue.”
Mather’s words are echoed by many who are calling for the government to take concrete steps to improve women’s safety in Delhi. The city’s women, in particular, are demanding action from the authorities, saying that they are fed up with the lack of safety measures in place. “We’re tired of being afraid to walk alone on the street,” said a Delhi resident. “We’re tired of being targeted and attacked. The government needs to take immediate action to ensure our safety.”
The government, in response to the incident, has promised to take action to improve women’s safety in Delhi. Home Minister Amit Shah has ordered an investigation into the incident, and police officials have been directed to increase security measures in the area. However, many are skeptical of the government’s commitment to addressing this issue, pointing to the numerous promises made in the past that have gone unfulfilled.
The recent incident involving Sudha is just the latest in a long string of violent crimes against women in Delhi. In recent years, the city has seen a surge in cases of molestation, assault, and even murder, leaving many to wonder if the authorities are truly committed to addressing this issue.
The truth is that women’s safety is a major concern in Delhi, and the government’s inaction has only exacerbated the problem. The lack of adequate security measures, combined with the widespread lack of trust in the police, has created an environment in which violent crimes against women are more likely to occur.
The government’s response to this issue has been woefully inadequate, with many promises made in the past that have gone unfulfilled. The recent incident involving Sudha is just the latest example of the government’s failure to address this issue, and it’s time for them to take concrete steps to improve women’s safety in Delhi.
As Mather so aptly put it, “What does the double-engine government have to say about this?” The answer, unfortunately, is that they have little to say, and even less to do. It’s time for the government to take action to address this issue, and ensure that women in Delhi can walk the streets without fear of being attacked or harassed.
