SAMBA, Oct 2: Seeking justice for Hathras victim, the Panther activists led by Harsh Dev Singh chairman JKNPP and Yashpaul Kundal state president of Young Panthers held a protest demonstration and torched effigy of BJP Government, here today.
They were chanting slogans “Rapists ko fansi do, fansi do”, “BJP Sarkar Murdabad” and “Bhartiya nari ka apman, nahin sahega Hindustan” during the protest.
Speaking on the occasion, Harshdev Singh said that Hathras episode symbolized barbarism and monstrousness of criminals at its worst. With ever increasing cases of rapes, murders and kidnappings, the law and order situation in the country had fast crumbled under the BJP rule, he said.
“A feeling of insecurity had gripped the womenfolk all across the nation in view of steep rise in cases of such heinous offences against women. The BJP had miserably failed to provide safety and security to the fairer sex during its rule despite its tall slogans of Women empowerment,” Singh said.
Yashpaul Kundal called upon the women activists of the party to come to the succour of all such womenfolk who were facing harassment, humiliation or other kind of atrocities at the hands of anti-social elements or criminals. He said that crimes against women, poor sections, Dalits and other marginalized classes would be fought tooth and nail.
Shiv Charan Singh, Rajeshwar Singh, Yashpaul Sharma, Surinder Chouhan, Robin Sharma, Mohinder Singh and Arun Khajuria were also present during the protest.
