Censures Govt over rape of Manipuri minor
In its sharp criticism of the Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi Government, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday condemned the Government over the rape of a minor Manipuri girl in the city just days after the death of a 19-year-old youth from North-East in an alleged racial attack, saying it was only making empty promises and that nothing was being done to enhance their safety.
“The Delhi Government is making empty promises to people from North-East and doing nothing on ground to enhance their safety. It appears there is no law and order in the State. The Centre and Delhi Government are busy fighting with each other; neither has the time nor the inclination to ensure safety of an average Delhiite,” said BJP Delhi unit chief Vijay Goel.
He further said that everyone is witnessing how the people from North-East were feeling harassed in the city. “Women are feeling increasingly unsafe. But CM and his ministerial colleagues have no time for such an important matter. What has AAP Government done to check this spurt in crimeIJ” he asked.
“No one is concerned about governance in the city. The Congress-AAP alliance has pushed the city into a state of anarchy. It is strange that while on one hand Congress is criticising AAP and on the other it is supporting it. Why doesn’t it withdraw the support from AAPIJ” he questioned. A 14-year-old girl from Manipur was allegedly raped by her landlord’s son in Munirka area yesterday, sparking off protests in the national Capital. The incident has come close on the heels of the death of Nido Tania, a youth from Arunachal Pradesh who died after being allegedly beaten by some shopkeepers over jibes on his hairstyle.
