Jagan regime failed to provide protection to women, allege Oppn. leaders
Women leaders representing opposition parties on Saturday gave a clarion call for a united struggle against the Jagan Mohan Reddy government in the State, which had ‘failed to provide protection to the fairer sex’, resulting in more than 600 cases of atrocities against women in the State in the last two years.
Speaking at an all-party women’s meeting organised by the TDP’s Telugu Mahila wing, the women leaders attributed ‘the sorry state of affairs’ in the State to the government’s ‘inefficiency’. Expressing a grave concern over ‘deterioration of law and order situation in the State’, they demanded that the government release a White Paper on how many culprits booked under the Disha Act were actually sent to the gallows. They alleged that many in the government were extending support to perpetrators of crimes against women.
