LUCKNOW: Bahujan Samajwadi Party (BSP) chief Mayawati never loses any opportunity to put the ruling Samajwadi Party (SP) in Uttar Pradesh (UP) in the dock. On Saturday, as the news of Delhi gang-rape victim's death arrived, she used Maulana Ahmed Bukhari's statement to accuse Akhilesh Yadav-led SP government of doing nothing to rising check rape in the state and to help rape victims.
Mayawati claimed that over 1,500 cases of rape and other heinous crime against women have been reported in nine months of the SP rule. Holding lackadaisical policies of the government responsible for the rising crime against women, Maya said that ensuring security and speedy justice is more important than offering compensation and job to rape victim. The widespread public anger seen after Delhi incident shows that people are fed up and want justice, she added. But, she alleged, the SP government announced compensation for the Delhi gang rape victim and offered job to divert attention from the poor law and order situation in UP.
Referring to the statement of Maulana Ahmed Bukhari, Shahi Imam of Jama Masid in Delhi, in which he has criticised SP government of not giving compensation to Muslim victims of such crimes, Mayawati said that people who supported the SP in assembly elections have now started questioning how many rape victims in UP were given compensation and offered jobs by the SP government.
"Forget about justice, in many cases no action has been taken and culprits are moving freely," she alleged. Mayawati also said that the compensation and job to rape victims is not the solution of the problem. Only prompt and strict action will help, she added.
While condoling the death of the Delhi rape victim, the BSP chief reiterated her demand of calling a special session of Parliament for framing stricter laws to curb crime against women and for installing a mechanism for speedy justice. She also said that speedy and strict punishment to the guilty should also be widely publicised, so that it can act as a deterrent. She said that people are angry today because governments make promises when an incident is highlight but never fulfil them.
"We can call ourselves as a civilised society only after curbing the menace. For this we all will have to stand up and contribute for the cause," she said.
