Eveteasing and MLA's comment!

The comment made by Chiranjit Chakraborty, a Trinomul MlA and an actor too, on the recent incident of eve-teasing at Barasat is extremely unfortunate and merits condemnation from all sections of the society.Barasat has earned notoriety for antisocial activities that culminated in the murder of Rajib Das who tried to save his sister from sexual assault by a group of hoodlums in drunken state. Police inactions and political leaders’ attempt to cover up such incidents or play down their gravity claiming them as small incidents being blown out of proportions or concocted altogether by media to malign the present govt. have encouraged the miscreants to perpetrate such crimes with impunity.Chiranjit’s remark is in tune with the above line of thinking of ruling party. Sexual assaults on women have increased manifold now-a-days. Almost every other day a rape is being held in our state. Women are no longer safe and secured here as we earlier boast they were unlike in Delhi or Bombay. Women’s commission has lashed out at the Bengal govt for increasing incidents of crime against women. People in general also share this view of the commission and feel much concerned about increasing rate of crime. But govt is yet to react, let alone tone up police administration to curb such crimes.Govt seems to be ignoring these allegations and keeps looking the other way.
