Maharashtra bandh on August 24 amid growing outrage after Badlapur sexual abuse case
Thursday, 22 August 2024 () The sexual abuse of two four-year-old girls at a Badlapur school has sparked widespread agitation and anger across the state. The opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) on Wednesday called for a Maharashtra Bandh on August 24 to protest the incident and the rising number of crimes against women.
Police in the western state of Maharashtra, India, charged at protesters with batons on Tuesday (August 20) after thousands blocked railway tracks for hours in a demonstration against the alleged sexual abuse of two four-year-old girls by a cleaner at a school outside the financial capital of Mumbai.
In a forceful statement, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the recent Rape and Murder of a junior doctor at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, declaring that "crimes against women are unforgivable" and vowing strict action against perpetrators. Speaking at the 'Lakhpati Didi Sammelan' in Jalgaon, Maharashtra, Modi condemned the horrific incident, which has triggered nationwide protests and a contentious political debate over women's safety. He emphasised his government's commitment to enhancing legal measures and enforcing severe penalties for such crimes. Modi also highlighted significant achievements in supporting women, noting a substantial increase in loans to women self-help groups over the past decade and urging continued support for the BJP-led government to ensure stability and growth.
