Over 1 lakh cases of crime against women in Rajasthan in last 4 years: Anurag Thakur | India News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: BJP on Saturday fielded senior Union ministers to assert that the party doesn’t see crime against women with a political lens. “From Bengal, Bihar to Rajasthan, crimes against women are on the rise in the states ruled by the TMC, JD (U), RJD and Congress but the government in these states are mute spectators,” I&B minister Anurag Thakur charged. The minister claimed that over one lakh cases of crime against women have been registered in Rajasthan in the last four years. “A total of 33,000 cases pertain to sexual assault on women in Rajasthan, but the Gandhi family remains silent,” Thakur alleged.

He said that on the instructions of Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, CM Ashok Gehlot sacked his minister Rajendra Gudha after he expressed concern over crimes against women in the state. “Will Ashok Gehlot tender his resignation as his own minister says that the CM has lost his ‘iqbal’ (authority) when in his home district, a woman is murdered and burnt, and when five km away from his residence a woman is raped and left to die?” he asked. “This is a question for (Congress chief Mallikarjun) Kharge and Gandhi family,” he added.
Referring to Bengal, he said, “Mamata (Banerjee) ji, I don’t know if any ‘mamata’ (endearment) is left in your heart or not but humanity was shamed when in Howrah’s Panchla area, more than 40 goons of TMC paraded a woman naked on the day of panchayat polls and the candidate contesting the election was beaten up, insulted.” “Not just this, a video is going viral in which two women are being paraded half-naked in West Bengal’s Malda,” the minister claimed.
