INLD to corner BJP over rapes, drugs in coming assembly session
ABHAY CHAUTALA SAYS NEITHER A YOUNG CHILD OF SIX YEARS NOR A SIXTYYEAROLD WOMAN IS SAFE IN STATE
CHANDIGARH: The Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) leader Abhay Chautala on Wednesday said that his party would corner the ruling BJP over the issues of women safety, cows protection and the drugs menace among others in the forthcoming monsoon session of Vidhan Sabha.
Talking to the media here, Abhay said while the BJP on one hand announced schemes for the welfare of animals, especially cow, on the other it promoted animal slaughtering industry in the state.
He referred to a slaughter house at Jaspur of village of Raipur Rani in Panchkula in this context.
He alleged that while the villagers were against it, the police intimidated the villagers by filing FIRS against the sarpanch and others. “INLD would not allow the slaughter house to run there and if the government would remain adamant, INLD would build a temple there,” he added.
Referring to recent incidents of Kurukshetra varsity and a university in Sonepat pertaining to drugs, he said the INLD MLAS would also raise the issue of increasing instances of drug trafficking in the state. He accused the administration of collaboration with drug peddlers.
Abhay said that he would also highlight in the assembly session the rising instances of rapes. He said that it was shameful that neither a young child of six years nor a sixty-year-old woman was safe from the perpetrators of this heinous crime in the state.
He also lambasted agriculture minister O P Dhankar for “putting Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the same pedestal where late Charan Singh and late Devi Lal stood in relation to farmers”.
