The gang rape at Delhi and the comments by Abhjit Mukereei,Congress MP and the son of the President Pranab Mukherjee has evoked such a storm that the original issue of Rape is lost, the issue of agitation and the comments taking the pride of place.
Electronic Media,seizing the opportunity to increase TRP, went non stop and devoted prime time for discussions.
Abhjit Mukherjee’s remark:
“Those who are coming in the name of students in the rallies, sundori, sundori mahila (beautiful women), highly dented and painted,” Abhijit Mukherjee, an MP from Jangipur seat which the President had vacated before his election, told a vernacular news channel.
“Giving interviews in TV and showing off their children. I wonder whether they are students at all,” he said, adding, “what’s basically happening in Delhi is something like pink revolution, which has very little connection with ground realities.”
Let’s read this.
1.’There were beautiful women’ -There is no denying of the fact.-nothing to be agitated about it.
2.’”Giving interviews in TV and showing off their children’-True.
3.’I wonder whether they are students at all,”
These are students,especially the top right of image 1 and the one on the left of image 2?
Students demonstrating peacefully?
‘ highly dented and painted -One gets this impression looking at the makeup.
However Abhijit could have kept it to himself.
What followed in the panel discussion in TIMESNOW was totally unconnected to the issue and Mr Abhijit has tendered an unconditional apology.
The anchor talked of Mindset , quoting instances of Andhra Politicians and BJP‘s Syed Abbas Naqvi.
Yes they are to be condemned
But why lose sight of the original issue of Rape?
Shockingly one Ms. Brinda declared the Delhi agitation is not as much for the rape incident but for the basic(?) feminine Right to
“Drink ,Dance and Celebrate!”
Another Girl declared, in response to pointed question by Mr.Rahul that ‘while the rape is to be condemned , it is not advisable to go naked and ask a Man not to rape’,-We want our Rights to dress the way we want, go where we want when we want!’
It was also sad to see that no woman on the panel talked of Family Values, Honor or children!
Every woman was trying to defend the way they want to dress scantily and going about at midnight wherever they want.
If women do want to go about it that way, let them.
Freedom calls for responsibility including the responsibility of taking care of one self.
If these people can’t do it for themselves, how would they take care of their children?
The entire talk has conveyed one message, it is not the Life of the raped, the punishment for the Rapist, the family, well-being of
individuals that is important,but of doing what one wants asking Men to behave properly.
An information-The number of people who have singed -Stop Rape Now–Men outnumber Women.
For my post asking people to sign the Petition,’ likes ‘are mostly from Men.!
PS.Why do women want to dress attractively/ scantily, -not to be looked at by Men?
These ladies are going to state that they were misquoted or ‘quoted out of context’
