Samajwadi party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav was not being altruistic and sympathetic towards men who were handed down the death sentence for their involvement in rape cases but was expressing his concern and donning the avatar of a bleeding heart simply because he had a vested interest in doing so.......
In fact, I for one would venture as far as saying that his undue concern and empathy for rapists or then should I say serial rapists should come as no surprise to anybody as the fact of the matter is that a significant number of his party men have been charged with the heinous crime of having committed the most barbaric and brutal crimes against them and he was trying to save their skins by making a commitment towards changing the existing rape laws if voted to power........
At last count, a minimum of three (3) Samajwadi Party MLA's and one of it's candidates for the parliamentary elections have cases registered against them under section 376 of the Indian Penal Code (rape) as well as section 294 (playing obscene songs and making obscene gestures in a public place or gathering).......
Sitting MLA's Sribhagwan Sharma, Anoop Sanda and Manoj Kumar Paras have voluntarily disclosed the fact that they have rape cases registered against them in the affidavits filed by them before the Election Commission of India; Sharma, 37, who is the incumbent MLA from Debai in Bulandshahr District also has cases of obscenity, robbery and attempt to murder pending against him in addition to the rape charges while Sanda boasts of the distinction of having criminal intimidation cases being filed against him in addition to the rape cases pending against him........
Veer Singh, the Samajwadi Party MLA from Chitrakoot has cases of obscenity, rioting, murder, kidnapping and extortion filed against him while yet another party MLA Viresh Yadav (Aligarh) has cases of carrying out an unlawful miscarriage without obtaining the concerned woman's written consent pending against him.......
The rot however does not end or stop there, Vinay Tiwari, the sitting MLA from Gola Gokrannath has two cases under section 377 (unnatural sexual acts) as well as several rioting and murder cases registered against him and considering his "illustrious" track record, it is almost certain that the unnatural sexual acts performed by him are bound to be everything but consensual........
In addition to the above mentioned gallery of rogues, the Samajwadi party also boasts of the dubious distinction of having more than 40 MLA's who have been booked under serious and eyebrow raising charges of murder, kidnapping, extortion and criminal intimidation, roughly making up for a little more than 10% of all the sitting MLA's from India's most populous state Uttar Pradesh (MLA's with criminal antecedents)........
Prospective Members of Parliament from the very same party (candidates fielded by the very same party from parliamentary constituencies) can also boast of similar "outstanding" credentials what with 11 of them voluntarily disclosing the fact that cases of rape, murder, extortion, robbery, criminal intimidation and kidnapping registered against them; one of them, Shahnawaz Hussain, the party candidate from the Bijnore parliamentary constituency has 11 cases of murder, attempt to murder, rioting, arson, robbery and criminal intimidation registered against him.......
Does it come as any wonder then that this self serving and self obsessed party and it's supremo (Mulayam Singh Yadav) were at the forefront of the brigade that tried it's utmost to stop the Indian Parliament from taking up and passing the supposedly stringent anti-rape laws that were introduced in both houses of Parliament in April 2013........
Swimming against the tide, Mulayam Singh Yadav is on record saying that the framing of far more stringent rape laws would serve to be the biggest impediment in the economic emancipation of women as prospective employers would think a million times before employing women because of the omnipresent fear of being implicated in rape and other such cases........
And all this while the rest of the nation and it's cousin was clamouring for far more stringent, far reaching and efficacious laws that would ensure a modicum of safety and security of it's long suffering and harassed womenfolk.......
"Employers will furrow their brows and spend sleepless nights debating whether or not they should go ahead with employing women; we also cannot create separate markets, schools or workplaces for women where men will studiously refrain from giving them the glad eye and follow in their wake", the Samajwadi Party Supremo is said to have remarked during the course of the debate in the Lok Sabha........
And despite all this, we steadfastly go ahead and entrust the reins of our motherland's most populous state in the hands of a man who thinks that women are an inferior race and their only bidding is to please the sexual whims and fancies of rampaging men, unnatural or not, being nothing more then a piffling triviality that can be brushed away with casual disdain.......
When will we ever learn, oh when will we ever learn..........
