President Droupadi Murmu ne Wednesday ko kaha ki “bahut ho gaya” aur Bharat ko aurat ke khilaf hone wale Crimes ke per jagna hoga. Unhone kaha ki wo samajik soch ko challenge karna hoga jo auraton ko kamzor, asamarth aur kam intelligent samajhti hai.
“Jo log aise vichar rakhte hain, wo auraton ko ek vastu ke roop mein dekhte hain,” Murmu ne PTI ke liye apne lekh mein kaha. “Humein apni betiyon ko dar se mukt karne ke raste se rukawat door karni hogi.”
Yeh tippani Kolkata mein 9 August ko ek junior doctor ke rape aur murder ke baad aayi hai, jo desh ko chakit aur chintit karne waali ghatna hai. President ne kaha ki yeh Crime auraton ke khilaf apraadhon ki ek lambi shrankhala ka hissa hai.
“Ek sabhyata ko aisi atyaacharon ko bardasht nahi karna chahiye,” Murmu ne likha. “Desh ko apni naraazgi vyakt karni chahiye, aur main ismein shaamil hoon.”
Yeh lekh “Women’s Safety: Enough is Enough” ke naam se hai aur pehli baar hai jab President ne Kolkata incident per apni rai vyakt ki hai, jo desh ko ek baar phir jhataka diya hai aur badi protest ki leher ko janm diya hai. Yeh lekh PTI ke senior editors ke saath Rashtrapati Bhavan mein hui baithak ke baad likha gaya, jo 27 August 1947 ko news agency ke 77th anniversary ke mark pe aayi thi.
Murmu ne kaha ki jab Kolkata mein students aur doctors protest kar rahe the, tab dusre criminals bhi apne shikar ke liye ghoom rahe the, aur bachche bhi iske shikar bane. Unhone Raksha Bandhan ke din school ke bachon ke saath apni baat yaad ki, jahan unhone Nirbhaya-type ghatna ke dobarah hone ke baare mein sawaal kiya.
2012 ki Nirbhaya case par vichar karte hue, Murmu ne peechle efforts aur reforms ko maan liya, lekin unhone kaha ki aise hi tragedies hote rahe hain, jo aksar rashtriya dhyan mein nahi aati.
“Kya humne sach mein apne sabak seekhe hain?” unhone poocha. “Jaise jaise samajik protest kam hue, ye incidents humari yaad se nikal gaye, aur naye apraadh ke sath hi yaad aaye.”
Murmu ne samajik purvagrah aur
purane riwazon ko criticize kiya jo auraton ke adhikaron ko rokate hain. Unhone kaha ki auraton ke khilaf apraadh ke piche yeh objectification aur devaluation ka mindset hai.
“Yeh ek gehra samajik drishtikon hai jo aaj bhi humein pareshani mein daal raha hai,” Murmu ne kaha. “Humein is mindset ko challenge karna hai, jo ki sarkar aur samaj dono ka kaam hai.”
Unhone kaha ki laws aur social campaigns ke bawajood, kuch cheezein aisi hain jo hamesha rukawat banti hain. “History aksar dard deti hai aur societies jo history ka samna karne se katrate hain, vo collective amnesia ka sahara lete hain.”
President ne kaha ki ab waqt aa gaya hai na keval history ka samna karne ka, balki apne atma se bhi poochne ka ki auraton ke khilaf apraadhon ki root cause kya hai.
“Humein in perversion ko ek comprehensive tareeke se address karna hoga aur victims ki yaadon ko izzat dena hoga taaki hum apni galtiyon ko samajh saken aur future mein vigilant rahe sakein,” Murmu ne kaha. “Samaj ko honest aur unbiased self-introspection ki zarurat hai aur apne galtiyon ko samajhna hoga.”
“Humne kaha galti ki? Aur hum kya kar sakte hain in galtiyon ko door karne ke liye? Bina is sawal ka jawab paaye, hamara aadi population bhi utni hi azaadi nahi jee sakti jitna baaki population,” unhone conclude kiya.
