Mumbai: Union Minister Smriti Irani recently addressed the public about a viral video from Manipur, stressing the importance of national security and its sensitivity. Despite being known to opposition leaders, the issue has not been discussed on the floor of the Parliament, raising eyebrows on the lack of attention towards the matter.
The minister expressed her concern over the situation in Rajasthan, where a minister who spoke out against crimes targeting women in the state was abruptly dismissed by the Congress party. This incident has raised questions about the freedom to voice opinions and concerns within the political landscape.
Adding to the disturbing scenario, a video has emerged from West Bengal's Malda, depicting the distressing sight of two Dalit women being beaten and stripped. This incident highlights the need to address atrocities against women in the state and calls for immediate action.
Irani expressed her disappointment in the Congress party's reluctance to acknowledge and address the issues of violence against women in Rajasthan. The party's inaction as a silent observer during the West Bengal Panchayat elections, despite the loss of lives, has also sparked criticism.
The Union Minister raised concerns over Congress's apparent eagerness to collaborate with the Trinamool Congress (TMC) in West Bengal. She suggested that this collaboration might be overshadowing their responsibility to take a stand against violence and ensure the safety of citizens during elections.
The matters brought forward by Smriti Irani highlight the need for open discussions and actions on sensitive issues concerning national security and crimes against women. As responsible citizens, it is essential to prioritize the well-being of individuals and society as a whole. Addressing these concerns collectively can lead to a safer and more secure environment for everyone.
