Mr. Ambedkar, grandson of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, lashed out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his “conspicuous silence.”
Attacking the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over the alleged gang-rape of a 19-year-old lady in Hathras in Uttar Pradesh, Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA) chief Prakash Ambedkar mentioned on Monday that the Sangh and its political arm noticed women solely as “commodities.”
Mr. Ambedkar, grandson of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, lashed out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his “conspicuous silence.”
“The heinous Hathras incident has been protested at all levels of society… The younger generation is now looking at the oppression of women from a different perspective. In this changing scenario, it is worth noting that the mentality of the RSS-BJP throughout has been to propagate this notion of women as objects of consumption,” the VBA chief mentioned after a protest in Pune.
He mentioned it was heartening to see youth popping out in giant numbers to protest crimes in opposition to women.
A famous lawyer himself, the VBA chief mentioned that the U.P. police and the Special Investigation Team (SIT) had no proper to ‘threaten’ the kin of the sufferer.
“Who is giving the officials these instructions to intimidate the victim’s family? It can only be the political leadership of Uttar Pradesh. That is why the victim’s family has demanded that the supreme court appoint a judge to inquire into the matter, and monitor the probe. We fully support this demand,” he mentioned.
