Women empowerment!!

Rape the sister, says UP khap panchayat for brother's action

A khap panchayat in Uttar Pradesh has issued a diktat that

a Dalit woman and her sister should be raped and paraded

naked in their village as revenge for their brother’s action

of eloping with a married girl from the Jat community.

Fearing for her life, the 23-year-old woman has moved the

Supreme Court, seeking protection for herself and her

family.

Petitioner Meena (name changed), a resident of a village in

Baghpat district, alleged that under pressure from the girl’s

family the local police foisted a false narcotics case

against her brother. Even though a local court gave him

bail, the family was too scared to go back to the village to

arrange surety documents to secure his release.

A bench headed by Justice J Chelameswar issued a notice

to Uttar Pradesh Police, which Meena has accused of

being hand-in-glove with the dominant Jat community.

The court has asked the state police to respond to

Meena’s plea for a CBI probe into the incident.

Meena’s advocate Vivek Singh told HT: “On July 30, the

Jat community held a khap panchayat and decided to

avenge the dishonour. The petitioner has been condemned

to be raped and paraded naked after blackening their faces

only because her brother fell in love and eloped with her

friend. The family can never return.”

According to the petitioner, her brother and the girl were in

love for the past three years. The girl was, however,

married off to a Jat boy against her wishes in February this

year.

A month after her marriage, the girl escaped from her

matrimonial home and eloped with the petitioner’s brother.

But, following alleged torture by the girl’s family members

and UP police the couple surrendered. While the girl, who

said she was pregnant with her lover’s child, was sent

back to her parents, the boy was arrested under the false

drug case.

Under threat, Meena’s family moved to Delhi after which

their house in the native place was allegedly ransacked

and taken over by the Jat community.

Women empowerment is at its peak and surely none of the authorities have enough time to regulate and care for such activities!!

Wait for 100 years and when women will also be "ENDANGERED", then we'll awake!

 Pity! Shame! 

Welcome to India, where we worship goddess Lakshmi but don't want a daughter in our house, we worship goddess parvati but don't respect women!

Surely religion is far apart from morals and dignity of women!! 

This is not the place we had dreamt of living in, surely not!!
