The chief spokesperson of Uttarakhand Congress, Gairma Dasauni has said that shocking incident in which a woman was allegedly raped by an in-charge of a police post in the provisional State capital of the State shows the pathetic condition of women safety in Uttarakhand. Reacting sharply to the incident, she said that the rapists are getting protection in the BJP rule and ‘save rapists’ seems to have become the slogan of the BJP. Dasauni said that in the latest incident, a Yoga trainer whose husband is in Canada went to the Mayur Vihar police post to register a complaint of theft in her house. The in charge is now accused of rape of the woman. She said that recently two girls in Chamoli were sexually abused similarly an attempt was made to hush up the case in which a school girl was raped by a teacher.
The Congress leader said that the data of the National Crime Record Bureau (NCRB) shows that the crime rate against women has increased from 54 per cent in 2014 to 64.4 per cent in 2024.
The people have seen that the BJP has protected the rapists in the cases from Hathras to Hasan, Manipur to Unnav, from Pauri Garhwal to Sonbhadra and from Kesarganj to Varanasi.
Dasauni said that a recent report of the Home Ministry shows that Uttarakhand has become a safe haven for the criminals engaging in crime against women and the situation in the state is the worst among the nine Himalayan States.
