Ram Chander Jangra referred to 'CID reports' to support claim that '700 girls' went missing from villages near Tikri & Singhu borders. No such report exists, says senior CID officer.
Nick Jonas is not trying to modernise the mangalsutra, but his gesture shows that choices can be equal. If commitment must be flaunted, it need not be gendered.
BJP MP Ramchandra Jangra’s statement is baseless and aimed at defaming the farmers and hurting the dignity of an MP. Mr Jangra’s statement is worthy of strong condemnation.
What exactly is the issue with the MP’s remarks?
The “movement” was solely led by Jats. Jat farmers were the only ones who had grievances against the govt. And these grievances had nothing to do with the pros and cons of the farm laws which were much needed and would have heralded a new era in Indian agriculture if implemented. The real reason for the “protests” was that the Jats felt left out of the power structures across states as the BJP simply refused to court them. Amit Shah had stitched up an innovative social coalition which enabled the BJP to win elections even without the support of Jats – a dominant caste, especially in Haryana and Punjab.
The Jat attitude towards women is not exactly a secret. The whole world knows how Jat society treats women. It’s quite natural that young women would go missing in villages where the Jats had camped for long.
Instead of criticizing the MP, the police should seriously investigate the claims made by him. Justice must be done to the women who, very unfortunately, became fodder for these “protestors”.
