बेटियों की रक्षा करने में असक्षम खट्टर सरकार, खो चुकी है शासन का अधिकार ! मुख्यमंत्री खट्टर इस्तीफा दें- सुरजेवाला

चंडीगढ़- 16 सितम्बर, 2018

गैंगरेप व बलात्कार की लगातार हो रही घटनाओं से प्रदेश हुआ शर्मसार

वरिष्ठ कांग्रेस नेता और भारतीय राष्ट्रीय कांग्रेस के कोर कमेटी सदस्य रणदीप सिंह सुरजेवाला ने प्रदेश में बेटियों के साथ हो रही गैंगरेप व बलात्कारों की घटनाओं में वृद्धि को शर्मनाक बताते हुए इसे भाजपा सरकार की नाकामी का ज्वलंत उदाहरण बताया है।

रेवाड़ी सामूहिक दुष्कर्म मामले में खट्टर सरकार और हरियाणा पुलिस के संवेदनहीन रवैये और लचर कार्यवाही की कड़ी निंदा करते हुए सुरजेवाला ने कहा कि इनके निकम्मेपन के चलते हरियाणा प्रदेश सबसे अधिक सामूहिक बलात्कार के मामलों में पूरे देश में बदनाम हो गया है। मुख्यमंत्री मनोहर लाल खट्टर द्वारा इस मामले पर कार्यवाही करना तो दूर पत्रकारों के सवाल पर उल्टा अपना आपा खोकर उन पर भड़कने से पता चलता है की सत्ता का घमंड भाजपा नेताओं के सर चढ़ कर बोल रहा है और उन्हें सत्ता से हटाने का उचित समय आ गया है।

सुरजेवाला ने कहा कि सीबीएसई टॉपर छात्रा से गैंगरेप जैसी शर्मनाक घटना के चार दिन बीत जाने के बावजूद अभी तक गिरफ्तारी भी नहीं हुई है और सरकार की और से पीड़ित परिवार को सहायता चेक देकर लज्जित किये जाने का निंदनीय प्रयास किया जा रहा है। उन्होंने कहा कि बेटियों की रक्षा करने में असक्षम खट्टर सरकार शासन का अधिकार खो चुकी है और उन्हें इस्तीफा दे देना चाहिये।

हरियाणा विधानसभा में दिए सरकारी आंकड़ों का हवाला देते हुए सुरजेवाला ने कहा कि जब से प्रदेश में भाजपा की सरकार बनी है, तब से गैंगरेप, बलात्कार, महिलाओं के अपहरण व स्नेचिंग आदि महिला विरुद्ध अपराधों में भारी बढ़ोतरी हुई है, जिससे प्रदेश की महिलाएं पूर्णतया असुरक्षित महसूस कर रही हैं। सितम्बर 2014 से अगस्त 2015 के बीच राज्य में बलात्कार की 961 घटी, जो सितम्बर 2015 से अगस्त 2016 के बीच 1026, सितम्बर 2016 से अगस्त 2017 के बीच 1193 और सितम्बर 2017 से जून 2018 तक 1413 बलात्कार हुए, जिससे प्रदेश में बिगड़ रही स्थिति का पता चलता है।

सुरजेवाला ने कहा कि नेशनल क्राइम ब्यूरो के आंकड़ें भी बताते हैं कि प्रदेश में वर्ष 2016 में हत्या के 1090, बलात्कार के 1198, सामूहिक बलात्कार के 191 और अपहरण के 4019 मामले दर्ज हुए, जिसका मतलब है कि प्रदेश में हर रोज़ लगभग तीन हत्याएं, तीन बलात्कार और 11 अपहरण की घटनाएं घटी।

सुरजेवाला ने कहा कि इन आंकड़ों से साफ पता चलता है कि अपराधों को रोकने में नाकाम यह सरकार अपराधियों के सामने पूरी तरह से सरेंडर कर चुकी है।

नेशनल क्राइम ब्यूरो के आकड़ें के हवाले से एक अहम् खुलासा करते हुए सुरजेवाला ने कहा कि वर्ष 2016 में हरियाणा पुलिस ने केवल 56.2 प्रतिशत मामलों में चार्ज़शीट दायर की, जो देश के सभी राज्यों और केंद्रशासित प्रदेशों में नीचे से दूसरे नंबर पर है।हरियाणा पुलिस के इस अदक्ष रवैये और निकम्मेपन से अपराधियों को बढ़ावा मिलता है और उनके हौंसले बुलंद होते हैं। देश में चार्ज़शीट दायर करने की राष्ट्रीय औसत 78.1 प्रतिशत है।

सुरजेवाला ने कहा कि मुख्यमंत्री खट्टर जिनके पास स्वयं गृह मंत्रालय है उनका गैंगरेप के सवालों से मुँह छुपाना और उनकी पार्टी के नेताओं के आ रहे बयान बेहद ही शर्मनाक हैं। मुख्यमंत्री प्रदेश में कानून व्यवस्था को बनाए रखने में पूरी तरह से नाकाम रहे हैं। बेटियों से हर रोज अनाचार, छेड़छाड़, वह्शीपन और बलात्कार हो रहे हैं, जिससे मानवता शर्मसार हो रही है। इसके बावजूद मुख्यमंत्री श्री मनोहर लाल खट्टर कानून व्यवस्था कि लगातार असफलता पर चुप्पी साढ़े हुए हैं; जिससे साफ़ है की बेटी बचाओ, बेटी पढ़ाओ का नारा केवल खोखला नारा है और उन्हें बेटियों से कोई सरोकार नहीं है।

Chandigarh, Sept 16, 2018: Sikhs For Justice (SFJ) has threatened to stop Indian media organisations from overseas coverage citing their alleged propaganda of labelling Referendum 2020 campaigners as terrorists.

Twitter had earlier blocked Pannun’s account.

Topper’S Gang Rape: Police detained two

 

Chandigarh, Sep 15, 2018:

The Haryana Police on Saturday detained two persons for questioning in the gangrape of a 19-year-old board examination topper in Mahendragarh district.

Special Investigating Team (SIT) chief Nazneen Bhasin told media in Rewari that the rape of the young woman had been confirmed in the medical examination.

However, the three accused in the gang-rape case continued to evade the police, 85 hours after the incident.

The accused include a serving Armyman Pankaj, and two other youth, Manish and Nishu. All belong to Kanina village.

The police said it had detained a local medical practitioner, who was called by the accused youth when the condition of the rape victim deteriorated on Wednesday (September 12) after she had been sexually assaulted.

Police officials said that the medical practitioner gave the victim first aid after he was threatened by the accused.

The police has also detained and is questioning a local farmer, Dayanand. It was the room in the agricultural fields owned by the farmer that the accused allegedly gangraped the victim.

The Haryana Police has drawn flak for not being able to arrest any of the accused even after three days of the incident.

State Director General of Police (DGP) B.S. Sandhu said on Saturday that the accused would be arrested soon.

“One of the accused, Pankaj Fauji, is with the Army and is supposed to report for duty. We have sent teams to nab him,” Sandhu told media.

Pankaj is with an Army unit posted at Kota in neighbouring Rajasthan. He got married last year.

Though the victim initially told the police that she was allegedly gang-raped by three men, her father claimed that she had seen eight to 10 men around her when she regained consciousness following the gangrape on Wednesday near Kanina village, around 350 km from here.

The victim, who has identified her attackers, and her parents had said earlier that the police were not taking action in the matter and were dealing with it casually.

The accused, who belong to the same village as the victim and knew her, allegedly kidnapped the victim from Kanina bus stand while she was on her way for coaching classes.

She said they gave her water to drink which was laced with a sedative. They then took turns raping her in a room adjoining agricultural fields till she fell unconscious.

They later dumped her at a bus stop near the village. One accused, Manish, even called up the victim’s father and told him to pick her from the bus stand.

The victim, a second year student in a college, topped the board examination and was felicitated by the government.

“The truth has won. Congress falsehood has been rejected”: Sukhbir

 

Chandigarh, September 15, 2018:

Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal today said the Punjab and Haryana high court had upheld the highest values of democracy by snuffing out Congress attempts to use repressive means as well as the bogey of violence to muzzle the voice of democracy by arbitrarily denying permission for the party’s Pol Khol rally at Faridkot.

Stating that the Congress did not realize the ghastly mistake even when it had been snubbed by the court once and filed a review petition, Mr Sukhbir Badal  said the fate of the review petition should be a lesson to the Congress party that no government could infringe upon the fundamental rights of its citizens to protest in a peaceful manner. “The truth has won. Congress falsehood has been rejected”.

Stating that the high court had rightly upheld the SAD’s right to democratic protest, the SAD President condemned the Congress party for playing into the hands of radical elements and raising the bogey of violence to deny permission for the rally. “The truth is that it is the Congress party which is instigating violence by actively encouraging radical elements to create a flash point. The SAD believes in peace and our workers will raise their voice against the ‘jabar’ (repression) let loose by the Congress in a peaceful manner. In case radical forces sitting in Bargari tried to instigate violence  the responsibility for the same will be that of the Congress party and chief minister Capt Amarinder Singh”.

Mr Badal said the fact of the matter was that the Congress party had become jittery after the huge response to the last few rallies conducted by the SAD. “Pradesh Congress president Sunil Jakhar claimed that people would not let allow Akalis to enter villages. Our party received a rousing welcome at Jakhar’s native village Panjkosi in Abohar and our Pol Khol rally at Abohar received an unprecedented response. All this unnerved the Congress party and it is because of this that the party then decided to use Emergency like measures like resorting to arbitrary bans to check the rising popularity of the SAD. We thank the high court for defeating these nefarious designs. The people of Punjab will also give a befitting reply to the Congress government tomorrow”.

The SAD president also warned the government that it should not play with fire by colluding with radical elements to showdown the SAD. “Peace has been won in Punjab after a very difficult struggle. The Congress is endangering this peace and also communal harmony in the State by giving a boost to radical forces. The SAD will stoutly fight this conspiracy tooth and nail along with the people of Punjab who don’t want the State to be pushed back into the dark era of terrorism”, he added

Chandigarh:

The newly elected panel of Panjab University Campus Student Council (PUCSC) will take oath at Panjab University around 4 pm on Wednesday. The election for executive members will be held before the oath taking ceremony. The candidates of PUSU, National Students Union of India (NSUI Students Front), a breakaway group of the Congress students’ body NSO, and Himachal Students Association (HSA) had won all four seats of President, Vice President, Secretary and Joint Secretary, in the recently concluded PU elections last week.
PUSU has made a comeback after a gap of three years.

“Senate representation will be done so that the students also have a say in the matters of the University. Especially when it comes to issues like fee hike etc. As an elected student representatives, we need to have a say in the matters related to examination fee hike and fee hike in general. As these issues concern the students making it hard for them to cope up with such steep rise in tuition and examination fees,” said the newly elected President Nishant Kaushal.

Avneet Kaur, a student of the Department of Law, who won the post of vice president with 3,296 votes said, “I will work for transparency in the allotment of girls hostel which is the need of the hour as there are too many complications in the university’s procedure to provide a hostel.”

Ashiq Mohammad from UIAMS, who narrowly won the closely fought seat of secretary with 3,381 votes, said,“My priority will be that there should be a neat and clean campus. Secondly, the food in hostels need to be more hygienic. Hostel food is a big problem and needs due attention of the authorities. I will work to improve the condition of food as a priority.”

Amit Kaushik won the seat of Joint Secretary with 3,576 votes as against 2,819 by Manvi Gandhi of ABVP.

“First and foremost, a special team should be constituted to understand the requirements of the companies coming in for placements following which we will organise various personality based programmes and training initiatives for students so that they are fully prepared during the interview,” said Amit Kaushik of UIET.

“The nominations for the executive elections will be filled up by 1 pm on Wednesday. After the nominations are finalised, the department representatives will poll for the executive members,” said Dean of Student Welfare, Navdeep Goyal
