Udupi, 19 Jul 2014: The district unit of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind women unit staged protest here on Saturday July 19, urging both union and state government to award capital punishments to rapists in the country as such incidents are steadily on the rise owing to deterioration or moral values.

Jamaat-e-Islami Hind women unit district convener Samina Shukoor, Jamaat-e-Islami Hind state advisory Committee member Kulsum Abubakker, Jamaat-e-Islami Hind member Farat Dawood and Girls Islamic Organization district president Navida Kousar led the protests along with hundreds of women on the occasion.

I welcome the demands. Simultaneously demand dress code and deent dress to covr the body for a healthy societyand to avoid provocative dresses ,fashion and films and pictures in Paper magazine sections. All these are provoking and polluting the minds of youth because theirs is idle mnds, no jobs and so many probles with them.The Police must be acting freely and enquire abut the persons/party behind them. The interference of Political babus must be punished with cancellation of their seats /membership It they who have made the socity and the rogues corrupt in this aspect. So in my view not only the rapist , their supporters must also be punished with stringent punishment. If the police are side the politcal parties they must also be punshed with demotion, arrest and jil sentences. |
