Sordid ‘solidarity’ saga: Politicians caught laughing and make merry while protesting against Bihar rapes

Op India  

If yesterday’s ‘solidarity’ protest against rapes in shelter home in Bihar is anything to go by, the bar for basic decency set by the Indian politicians just went a couple of notches lower. Fodder scam convict Lalu Yadav’s MLA son Tejashwi Yadav called for a protest against the rapes for ‘dignity of Bharat Mata’s daughters’ at Jantar Mantar last evening. यही जंतर मंतर था। एक निर्भया ने UPA की नींव हिला दी थी। ये 40 निर्भया का मामला है। बड़े बड़े सिंहासन नहीं बचेंगे। तीन महीने में दोषियों को और उन बड़े बड़े नेताओं को जो इन्हें बचा रहे हैं, फाँसी की सज़ा दी जाए। https://t.co/taVltn8YpX — Arvind Kejriwal August 4, 2018 Arvind Kejriwal tweeted a threat that how one ‘Nirbhaya’, the 16th December 2012 incident of rape in national capital which shook the conscience of the entire nation, brought down the UPA, the 40 ‘Nirbhayas’ will not spare even bigger thrones, making a sly reference to Prime Minister Modi and the BJP that is in power. Few months back, Shehla Rashid blocked traffic, danced on drum beats and gave an interview while ‘protesting’ demanding arrest of a professor accused of sexual harassment, even as an injured child bled profusely. At one point, the politicians gathered together and held hands and raised them in the air as if they are using the platform as show of strength of ‘united opposition’ Makes one wonder whether this was a protest against sexual harassment to seek justice for ‘Bharat Mata’s daughters’ or a pitch for the 2019 general elections?
