Raksha Bandhan is an Indian festival of great significance. On this day brothers promise their sisters that they will always protect them. But with the lawlessness and widespread crime today can any brother really provide that promise to his sister?
We all know that the existing system has failed to provide security to women, and criminals have no fear of the law. Why should they, when our parliament itself has become the refuge of criminals. There are over 160 members of parliament with serious charges of murder, extortion and rape. BJP and Congress each have over forty such MPs. They provide an umbrella of protection to the criminals on the street. Recently the Supreme Court brought a ruling to bar people with criminal charges from parliament. What did our existing political parties do? Hail this judgment? Accept it with open arms? As expected, they banded together to quickly oppose, challenge and try to scuttle this judgment.
We also know that we cannot expect anything from the police either. In the case of Gudiya, the 5 year old who was brutally gang raped in Delhi in April, it was under pressure from Aam Aadmi party volunteers that the police finally registered the FIR and shifted her to a better hospital, that saved her life. Far from getting justice for the victims against the perpetrators, the police themselves harasses the victims and their supporters. AAP volunteers have experienced this first hand in several cases of rape in Delhi, when they have had to protest on the street to even get the FIR registered. In June, AAP supporters were brutally attacked and beaten by the Delhi police for demanding to get the FIR registered in the case of a married woman who was kept captive and raped for 3 days. False cases were registered against our supporters.
What should we do about it? Leave this social responsibility to our existing government and police who have clearly failed, or rise up and take the responsibility to uproot the rotten system that allows this to happen?
Aam Admi party is a political revolution where the Aam Aadmi has joined hands to fight for Swaraj, usher in clean politics and stop lawlessness and crime against women. AAP has zero tolerance for corruption and crime.
It’s time to participate in the change! Support, Vote and Donate for Aam Aadmi Party, and forward this mail widely
Let’s make this Raksha Bandhan truly special! We request all sisters to call their brothers to donate to AAP to ensure their safety instead of their gift for Rakhi. We also request all brothers to call their sisters and ask them to donate the money they spend on Mithai and Nariyal to AAP. Please call all your brothers and sisters of this great nation today.
Let's make our society, our India "SuRakshit" on Raksha Bandhan !!.
TEAM AAP
