As widely anticipated and expected, the proposed Anti rape legislation has seemingly hit a roadblock even before it comes up for consideration before an all party delegation on Monday March 18, 2013..........
Samajwadi Party sources are candid about the fact that their party will never ever allow the bill to be passed in it's present form and shape as the anti voyeurism, stalking and disrobing of women in public provisions are completely anti men and can be misused against men, "this bill will end up changing the very face of Indian society and even accord the Indian woman a more dominant status," as one of them said........
In what has come as a pleasant surprise for the government of the day and ardent supporters of the proposed stringent anti rape legislation, Bahujan Samaj Party Supremo Behen Mayawati has thrown her lot behind this legislation, my party members will unstintedly support this new law and vote in favour of it whenever it is presented before parliament she is supposed to have said; we will give our suggestions and views on the bill during the course of the all party meeting, she added........
Certain sections of the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Chairperson of the National Commission for Women have stridently opposed the clause pertaining to the lowering of the age of consent for consensual sex to 16 from the present 18, they have voiced their opposition to this clause as the same would only end up corrupting the minds and souls of young Indians and lead to numerous teenage pregnancies in their informed opinion........
The fact that the current session of parliament is drawing to a close on March 22 is causing the high and mighty within the government ranks many a sleepless night, this ordinance will automatically lapse if the government fails to place the proposed anti rape law before the parliament on or before March 22 and the entire process will once again have to be initiated from scratch, government sources are believed to have said..........
One only hopes that better sense prevails during the course of the all party meeting on this much debated and eagerly awaited legislation, this bill will certainly do a lot towards making the cities and it's streets a lot safer for the long suffering womenfolk if it is passed and implemented in the manner that it ought to be implemented.......
