ITANAGAR, Apr 13:The Arunachal Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) has organized a Candlelight Protest against the Central Government’s silence on the Kathua and Unnao rape incidents while also raising concern over increasing atrocities against women in the country.
All the senior Congress leaders, PCC office bearers, Heads of Frontal Organization and its office bearers, Panchayat & Municipal leaders and party workers attended the programme.
Terming the two gruesome incidents as unfortunate and horrific, the APCC alleged that after BJP formed government at the Centre there is surge in violence against girls and women and lawlessness has increased.
“The Betis of the nation are feeling insecure and living with fear under BJP rule which indicates that they forgot the slogans of ‘Bahut hua nari par vaar’ and ‘Beti Bachao’,” it added.
The APCC later demanded immediate arrest of all the culprits involved in the heinous incident and to give exemplary punishment to them as per the law of the land.
