86 women raped every day in India, 6K women burnt alive for dowry every year: Brinda Karat


Agartala, Dec 20 (IANS): CPI(M) politburo member Brinda Karat on Monday said that on an average, 86 women are raped every day in India while annually more than 6,000 brides are burnt alive for dowry and Prime Minister Narendra Modi has failed to keep the girls and women safe.

Leading a massive rally of women in Agartala, Karat added that as claimed by Modi, instead of HIRA (Highways, Internet, Railways and Airways) governance in BJP-ruled Tripura, drugs' mafia rule has been going on in the state.

"Many BJP leaders are involved in raping and atrocities on women, but none were arrested yet. An unprecedented anarchy and 'jungle raj' has been prevailing in Tripura," the Left leader told the media.

She said that at the G20 meeting, the Prime Minister claimed India has a rich democracy, but in Tripura four elections, including local bodies, Lok Sabha and Assembly by-election, were held but a large number of voters were not allowed to cast their vote.

"People are now discussing these issues and Modi would see the consequences of it in the upcoming Assembly elections in Tripura."

The CPI(M) leader said that Union Home Minister Amit Shah is bulldozing everything, but not doing the same against those involved in crimes against women.

She alleged that even after 10 years since the Rs 6,000 crore Nirbhaya Fund was established and initiatives taken aiming to enhance the safety and security of women, the government failed to utilise even one-third of the fund.

Karat added that Modi is promoting fundamentalism but has not been sincere regarding women empowerment and people have realised that.

She said in the upcoming state Assembly elections, the main issue of the CPI(M) would be the 'double deprivation' of the people by the double-engine government under the BJP.

The rally was organised by the All India Democratic Women's Association to protest the rising crime against women and protect the rights of the women.

    Brinda Karat is providing fake figures to rake controversy. As such her party is ruling in Kerala , state with 100 percent literacy, but tops in crime against women. Same thing in Tamil Nadu and Bihar too, where CPI(M) is part of Govt, crime against women are very high. She conveniently forgets the data for these states.

    @ Dr Volga Menezes, Shirva - Udupi, Why are you asking the citizens to do the executive works of the government?. Now tell me please; As a Doctor, is it you who prescribe the medicine to the patients or do you expect the patients to bring their own choice of medicines for you to choose from? . If it is so; what is the use of you being a Doctor?

    @ Dr Volga Menezes, Shirva - Udupi, I spotted a rarely occurring defective piece from Don Bosco School and St. Mary's P.U College from Shirva who asks for prescriptions from patients. Most probably, got defected after leaving the above institutions.

    And everyone says " Indian Culture is the best culture in the world" . Truth is Indian culture is bad for women . It's a male dominated and outdated culture. Where is so called RSS when women are molested ? why no protest.

    @ Shankar, Mangaluru, I have 3 questions based on your statement: 1) Where did RSS protest yesterday and today asking for the safety of women? 2) Are rapists like Asaram Bapu and Nithyananada followers of imported culture? 3) Could you please provide any kind of reference of the foreign culture where women are burnt for dowry?

    Dear Nawaz Sir, You are right. All they know is to blame others for their problems. They hate Foreign culture but they stand in line first while applying for citizenship of other countries.

    @Anil, Dear Anil; to start with; with due respect to your way of addressing; my personal request with you that don't call me by adding Sir to my name. I don't deserve such thing; and I don't like that as well. Back to the point; in 2021 itself, more than 1, 60,000 High Net Worth people abandoned Indian Citizenship to settle in foreign countries. They could not tolerate the Achhe Din.
