Women Wings of different Political Parties have no voice and cannot stand for the issues against women – NSCA

Chandigarh
Opening up over increasing issues of atrocities over women in workplace and in domestic sector, Paramjit Singh Kainth, President, National Scheduled Castes Alliance today criticized the current Congress regime in the State and also blamed the Home Ministry portfolio held by CM Capt. Amrinder Singh for this trend of violence and oppression against women. Kainth criticized the government for being unable to safeguard the rights and integrity of women in the State and called the Home department inefficient of being able to provide security to women.

Kainth said “The politicization of the bureaucracy and mafia raj in the State have contributed as factors towards making the society unsafe for women. Increasing trends of violence, rape, sexual and physical assaults, kidnappings etc are a sign of the inefficiency of this government to provide adequate security to the women folk. The ‘absent’ Home Minister of the State i.e. the CM has his hands in too many baskets and this is resulting in the anarchy that is prevailing in the State over the issues of atrocities against women.”

He further added, “The way the Punjab and Haryana High Court has taken cognizance of the issues has been a major blot so far on the track record of the Congress government in Punjab. The Opposition has been mischievously silent over the issues and there is no one in the ranks of these political parties willing to speak up for the rights of women. Even the women wings of these parties are proving useless to protect the rights of the section they so overwhelmingly represent. There is no voice that can heed to the deaf ears of this Government to protect the women.”

Kainth urged the State government to take serious notice of this ongoing situation and also demanded that the CM appoint a Home Minister as soon as possible so that the Security aspect can be dealt with by a person dedicated to it exclusively.
