Mangalore, Oct 19: “Following the increase in atrocities on women, the ABVP will launch a nationwide awareness campaign titled, ‘Students’ Walk for Women Protection’. This campaign will begin in Karnataka on Wednesday October 23,” said Ramesh K, state secretary, ABVP, addressing the press meet at the Press Club.
“From the past two years, atrocities on women and students have been rising at an alarming rate in our country. The public has been feeling insecure and angry about these incidents. ABVP has been continuously carrying out protests and awareness programmes with relation to these incidents, for some time. As the law enforcement is not that strict where incidents like teasing, ragging, female foeticide, rape, and murder are concerned, these have been increasing day by day. The death sentence given to the four culprits in the Delhi gang rape case is a welcome one,” he added.
Ramesh added, “With a view to avoiding such incidents in future and to create awareness, the ABVP has been holding this campaign in every branch, nationwide. With this programme, the association will submit a memorandum with nearly 25 demands listed in it.”
He further demanded that the government hand over the Soujanya case to the CBI and the police has to be strict in the investigation regarding Akshatha’s death.
Chethan Padil, Anushka, and Yathish Kumar were present.
