Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot Calls Data On Rising Cases Of Crimes Against Women “False”. We Think He Needs A Reality Check!
There is no denying that the percentage of crimes against women in India is increasing day by day. Every other day there are news reports that somewhere in India, a woman is facing domestic violence or she is raped/gang raped or has killed herself due to the pressure of dowry, etc. However, there are still people who refuse to deem this as true and are in denial about it – especially our politicians. Why do they do it? Well, because of politics. Just take the instance of the Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot who recently spoke about how half of the cases that are filed as crimes against women in the state and said that they are “false”. He even goes on to blame the woman’s relatives, family, and acquaintances.
On Friday, Ashok Gehlot, Chief Minister of Rajasthan, said that half of the cases that are lodged as crimes against women were false and the ones to blame are the girl’s family, relatives, and acquaintances and also the Opposition. He further said that the state government has now started taking action against people who file such false complaints.
