Govt insensitive: Jogi

Raipur, January 04, 2013

Senior Congress legislator Ajit Jogi on Friday said the government was insensitive towards rising rape incidents and employees’ strikes. 

“The state BJP government as well as other political parties should learn from Congress and its UPA government at Centre that posed seriousness in dealing the case of Delhi gangrape victim,” said Jogi.

“Unfortunately, the state BJP government is non-serious towards rape victims as is evident by the attitude of chief minister and his ministers who, instead of ensuring proper treatment of the five-year-old gangrape victim (from Kanker) at Ambedkar hospital, preferred to celebrate New Year bash,” he said.

He slammed the government for not providing financial succour to the family of the rape victim kid for her treatment.

“The BJP government’s insensitivity could easily be gauged by the glaring incidents like Atari (Nandan Van) rape case, Meena Khalkhon case, harassment of tribal teacher Soni Sodhi at jail, human trafficking of over 30000 girls, etc. None of these cases have been dealt far,” he said. 

“For the past one month, Shikshakarmis, clerical staff, mitanins and Aanganbadi workers are on strike with their demands. Consequently, works in different government departments and studies in schools have affected, but the ruling party has posed indifference towards these strikes,” he said.
