RE: [IAC#RG] PRESS RELEASE. Death of Delhi's innocent gangrape victim.

Dear Seema, 
Why dont you just take a gun and shoot Sonia Gandhi, because your hatred of this woman comes through so easily. By the way had Sonia not been there wont there be any rapes? More than half of the states are governed by non-Congress governments rather anti-Congress governments. Are there no rapes taking place there? Law and order is a state subject. True this was the most brutal rape ever known and I, like many others felt terrible. But how many such demonstrations have taken place outside Narendra Modi's house, Mamata Banerjee's, Parkash Singh Badal's? In fact even as the Punjab govt is grappling with its own innumerable cases of rapes and gangrapes by influential Akali leaders, people like you are demonstrating even in Chandigarh against Sonia Gandhi! Yes there was reason to demonstrate against central government when mass rapes were being committed on the hapless women in Kashmir and North-East by the Indian armed forces. To date no one has been punished leave alone hanged even when these women were not just raped in the presence of their husbands, children and neighbours but electric shocks passed through their genitals, nor have we witnessed a single demonstration on this count in Delhi or any part of the country except occasional protest in the specific areas where the Indian armed force commit such acts almost every other day. In this case in fact the Delhi Police did act with some alacrity.To tell you the truth this sad incident is just an excuse to replicate Tahrir square, even though we have seen that eventually the power moved from Hosni Mubarak to Muslim Brotherhood. I preferred Mubarak to Morsi. I prefer Assad to the rebels, I preferred Qadhafi to the present dispensation, I preferred Saddam to the current US puppet regime. I prefer the so-called corrupt Zardari to the so called clean Imran Khan, an English speaking jehadi and I would much rather side with Sonia than with Sushma Swaraj who considers a rape victim as a 'Zinda laash' I hope this goes back to all the Sanghis who wont bother to change their anti woman and minority attitude but blame Sonia for everything because thanks to her alone, the Sanghis were displaced from power in 2004.

Just in case this is of interest , and to prove that sections of the media have indeed questioned sonia gandhi

Dear Soniaji,

 

This is my second letter to you, and since it already seems like old times I hope you don't mind the "Soniaji" as against that rather stodgy and formal Mrs Sonia Gandhi? Of course I did not hear from you, and must confess to being a little upset, but your letters to Delhi Chief Minister Ms Sheila Dixit and Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde have again encouraged me. It does seem that we are two of a kind, really rather similar beings, relying on letters to get some kind of action. I had thought you had the power to act, but clearly I was wrong. We are both letter writers. I write to you, and you write to others like Shinde, quite a nice little pact really!

 

This rape is really terrible isn't it? Delhi and other cities have erupted in anger and shock and unhappiness. The young girl is fighting for her life in hospital, her friend who was beaten with iron rods is completely traumatized, and it was surprising that the Delhi Chief Minister did not rush to the hospital as soon as the news broke, to embrace the victims families, hold their hands and assure them of all help possible. That was the least she could have done. You went, of course two days after the attack, and only when the citizens had come out on the roads reminding your government of its responsibilities. But don't worry, Soniaji I understand. You are not very comfortable with all this 'tear wiping' business, and besides your security chaps do not like you to move around too much; particularly on unfamiliar routes that you rarely take, such as the road to Safdarjang hospital. Also your managers did not fully understand the depths of common sentiments and were hoping that emotions would subside. But when this did not happen they realised it was imperative for you to at least meet the family, and shoot off those two famous letters distancing you from the government as soon as possible. You demanded action from Dixit and Shinde, just like all of us ordinary citizens who have spent all of two days protesting on the streets of Delhi.

 

That was a good move though. The media loved it. Of course there were some party poopers like BJP's Sushma Swaraj who wondered why you were demanding action when you were in place really to take action. But for purposes such as this, the letters placed you at a certain moral high, and at the same time absolved you of any complicity in the non-functioning of both the Delhi and Union governments. Impressive.

 

You must get a couple of more letters ready for these two. Dixit has not taken your words on board and stood by while the cops used water cannons on students, both boys and girls, demonstrating outside her residence. She refused to come out and speak to them, saying she could meet a delegation but would not speak to these rowdy young people. At least the police commissioner did a little better when he was brought out by women activists from his office to face scores of protestors. Jaya Bachan, MP did a Mulayam Singh on the woman activists and gave him a clean chit, saying he had assured them of stringent action and needed the cooperation of the people.

 

I think these students should have protested outside your door. They should realise where the power lies and I certainly do not like your status being undermined.  I wonder though whether you would have come out to meet them?  Probably not, and I agree you should not be seen as too close to the hoi polloi, and certainly not be seen as meeting these disheveled left wing types (leave them for the Sheila Dixits!). Anyways you have the best chaps taking care of your security, and they would not have allowed these people within kilometers of your residence!

 

Interesting how everyone is talking of the other. Sheila Dixit says she has no control over the police so cannot do anything. But she has control over the transport ministry, right? She could ensure that bus operators follow the rules, that her ministers check these private chaps regularly, and ensure that laws prohibiting tinted glasses for instance are followed, and that drivers are registered and have licenses. Shinde says he will now speak to the Delhi police and see what can be done to make the national capital safer for women. Now? What has he been doing all this while? Must say his statement in Parliament was the usual blah blah. The cops blame the courts for delayed justice. The courts castigate the cops for poor evidence. And in this frolicking merry go round where no one owns up to anything, the rapists and eve teasers and molesters have a field day.

 

I know it is difficult for you in particular to understand what a young girl faces in Delhi. You have never had to walk the streets, or travel by buses, or live in little rooms in shady streets as that is all you can afford. The fear when she is stalked, the visual rape she undergoes every single day, the physical molestation she dreads when she boards a bus, and her helplessness as she knows that she cannot turn to the police as they are the worst of them all. You do not see it as the police turn into servile, crawling human beings in your presence. Don't get me wrong, I support you in this as our leaders must be leaders, distant and far removed from the crowds. I do not like all this, we are with you, kind of talk. How will we recognise our leaders if they become part of us?

 

Delhi has become the rape capital of India. Women are not safe on the streets, day or night. There are many reasons for this, from the sociological to the political. But the foremost to my feeble mind is bad, corrupt, callous and compromised policing. They just do not do their job. They are linked with the transport mafia, with politicians, with the goons; they take bribes to look the other way; and they do all they can to ensure that laws are flouted every minute of the day. What is worse they do not register cases lest these reflect in the statistics, and women in particular cannot hope for any protection against the beasts on Delhi's streets. I know this must seem far fetched to you, as you do not even have to call, and the top cops are there willing to fetch and carry. And so your preoccupation is more with who should be Delhi police commissioner, than with ensuring that the officers pull up their socks and work off those stomachs, and I guess they know that when they line up for your attention.  Shinde should do something about this, but then most cops have political patronage and it is difficult to touch the officers for incompetence and corruption.

 

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has done his usual disappearing act. He is becoming quite good at it really. Haven't heard from Rahul baba at all. Hope he is well? Priyankaji is of course busy in your constituency. The government has had little to say on the issue, and suddenly all the Congress spokespersons have also disappeared. The people are talking of capital punishment for rape, but where are the laws for booking eve teasers and molesters? This crime is not even recognised by the police as a crime. Don't worry I am not even suggesting that you government should do anything about this, that would be too much to ask.

 

I will now rest my pen. More when you next write to the minions in your government.

 

All the very best,

 

A woman.

I will say every one today is acting like a snob.
No one has the guts,even the media to point their finger on the sole person who is responsible for this.Who is in power just to save her black money.
It was said that Sonia Gandhi cried bitterly when a terrorist was killed.
Now is she crying.She is responsible for the murder if this innocent girl because of corruption.
For her vote bank she sold our country.
Another disturbing news today that a guy by the name of Owaisi who said that the 15 cr muslims can easily overpower 100 cr Indians.Its shocking that this guy is roaming free courtsey sonia.
And the media will invite this guy along with majeed,teesta etc for their TRP instead of a common man.
God bless India.

Very disturbing news! Feel very sad for her and her parents. Braveheart! RIP.

Public anger should be directed to Electoral, Judicial and Police reforms. 
  • All MPs and MLAs charged for any crime should be thrown out of Parliament/Assemblies. Political parties should be forbidden to give membership to such people.
  • Police Reforms as approved by the Supreme Court in 2006 should be implemented in letter and spirit by all states.
  • Fast courts to deal with crimes against women. 
  • Respect for women in  society should be part of social studies in all schools. No religion or Khap Panchayat should be allowed to pass dictats that violate this spirit.

IAC does not indulge in politics.

This incident has shocked and roused the nation. IAC will pursue it in our own ways once the TV cameras and NGOs have moved onto other issues, and long after all the candles being lit today have flickered out.
