Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge took aim at the government on Thursday, condemning its inadequate actions regarding women's safety. Despite Prime Minister Narendra Modi's frequent references to this issue in his speeches from the Red Fort, Kharge argued that no tangible measures have been implemented to curb crimes against women.

Addressing the gravity of crimes against women, Kharge underscored the need for a collective effort across all societal sections to devise effective solutions. His remarks coincide with nationwide outrage over recent high-profile cases, including the rape and murder of a trainee doctor in Kolkata and other incidents affecting girls around the country.

Kharge highlighted the severe nature of these injustices and stressed the necessity of ensuring equal rights for women instead of mere slogans like 'Beti Bachao'. He criticized the government for its failure to enact substantive reforms, suggesting that efforts such as improved criminal justice measures and gender sensitization are urgently needed to create a secure environment for women.
