Bharatiya Janata Party prime ministerial candidate Narendra Bhai Modi has been waxing eloquent on women's issues for an interminable period of time and holding all and sundry but himself responsible for the grave state of affairs.......
Alas, like all pompous bags of hot air, Modi failed to address women related issues on his home turf, a first year nursing student of Ahmedabad';s prestigious J.G.School of Nursing was allegedly molested by the assistant cook of her college hostel on Saturday and Modi and his numerous acolytes have been maintaining a stoic silence on this burning issue.......
Major unrest was reported from the college campus as representatives from the NSUI and other students' bodies went on the rampage and took the college authorities to task for their abject failure to ensure the safety and security of girl students on the campus despite several representations and written complaints........
According to the victims close friends and confidantes, she was sitting in her hostel room all by herself when the accused (assistant cook) Surendrasinh Rathod surreptitiously entered her room and asked her if she was hungry.......
When she replied in the negative, the accused instead of withdrawing form her room began holding her hand, coming intimately close to her and started groping and feeling her up; the girl tried to ward off his advances and began screaming for help at the top of her voice......
Fearing that he would be exposed and more importantly lose his means of livelihood, Rathod began strangling the victim in an effort to effectively silence her; the frail looking girl however kept fighting back with ferocious strength and even sustained scratch marks, bruises and other bleeding injuries on her neck,face and other parts of her being.........
As the girls cries for help began growing louder and more forceful despite his best efforts to subdue her; Rathod decided that retreat was the chosen course of action and hurriedly made good his escape from the victim's hostel room........
Her friends and fellow hostel mates who rushed to her aid found her quivering, hysterical and nothing more than a shrivelled up bundle of abject misery, they promptly made their way to the dean's office seeking immediate action against the assistant cook and then submitted a written representation to his administrative assistant when they did not find him in his office........
As no official action was forthcoming on the part of the college authorities till 5 pm in the evening, the girls thought it fit to establish contact with the NSUI representatives who came to the college and staged a dharna demanding the arrest of the culprit and enhanced safety measures for the girl students........
In defence of his group of institutions, John G. Verghese, chairman of the J.G. group of colleges conjured up this hackneyed and stereotyped defence about the matter being brought to his notice on Saturday evening and went on to add that a board of inquiry had been constituted to conduct an impartial and expeditious inquiry and also lodge a police complaint against the accused if required.........
He also added the fact that the hostel's head cook Ramsinh Rathod had promptly issued an apology on his nephew Surendrasinh's behalf and letting matters rest would be the most desirable outcome to the imbroglio for the time being.........
One wonders whether this is the universal rule in Modi's Gujarat and if "prompt and sincere" apologies are reason enough to let all such matters/cases of molestation "rest" and subsequently be erased from the public's memory in the long run........
India's future prime minister and his unique manner of dispensing justice to all the victims of molestation within his home state???????
