Agartala: Mar 17: The Mahila Congress is set to organize a protest march on March 29 to demand greater safety for women and accountability from the BJP-led government. This move comes in response to the rising incidents of violence against women in the country and the state under the BJP government. Congress spokesperson Prabir Chakraborty criticized the BJP's claims of empowering women, citing a 28% rise in incidents of violence against women and girls in 2024, according to National Crime Bureau statistics. Chakraborty emphasized that the BJP government is failing to create a safe environment for women, which is a critical aspect of true empowerment.
The protest march will rally for the protection of women and highlight the government's failure to deliver on its promises of safety and security for women in India. This demonstration is significant, especially considering the growing crisis of violence against women, with such crimes happening every hour. The Mahila Congress's protest is a call for immediate action to curb this rising violence and ensure a safer environment for women across the country.
