After her emotional speech at Rajya Sabha on Delhi gang rape incident, Jaya Bachchan may have won a few hearts ( and trending on Twitter) , But I am least impressed.   I don’t give a damn for these politicians shedding crocodile tears in front of TV cameras. Let them do something concrete and then come back to us.

Every time such rape incidents ( or similarly School Gun shooting in US) happens in India, politicians raise hue & cry and later they forget everything till the next unfortunate incident happens again. I have a mother, wife and a daughter and like most Indian citizens, I am concerned about their safety in this country. What do these politicians know about the plight of the ordinary citizens? Their families travel in VVIP security and they don’t need to worry about their safety. It is the common people, like you and me who suffers.

If you are still falling for their high drama and TV screen targeted speeches, have a look at this. Uttar Pradesh, where her  Samajwadi Party (SP) is ruling, witnessed , 699 cases of murder, 263 rape cases and 249 incidents of loot  between March 1 to April 15, 2012. Yes, you have read it right, 263 rape incidents (recorded) in a span of 45 days. Let me ask, why doesn’t she ask her party leader first to stop it? How many of those culprits are arrested and convicted?

Delhi CM, Sheila Dixit says, she’s cancelled the bus license. WTH? Bring the culprits to book asap,  get them capital establishment ( laws should be changed if needed) and let people who even think of rape, fear !

Where were these politicians when 600+ rape cases happened in Delhi alone this year?

Rapes are  ferociously happening in every town and city – Delhi, Bangalore , Mumbai and every corner of the country.

As an ordinary citizen, I  feel helpless , frustrated and angry !

Let these politicians first shut their mouths and do something.

We  want only ACTION !

    earlier when I was growing up people used to help girls if someone was eve teasing but by the time I entered college people started looking the other way, no one used to help. In buses if there was an eve teaser, the whole bus used to shout at him and threw them off the bus now no one wants to get involved not your neighbours not your co-passengers , its their silence that has made eve teasers bolder.

    It just take few hours to write an article like this. When he can ask a question what does a politician know about the plight of ordinary citizen, first he should ask what does he know about politician life?

    It has become a trend to post and create sensation when something happens and even we “Aam aadmi” hue & cry and later we forget and move on.

    A country can succeed only when the citizens and the leaders work hand in hand. It will take a long time to understand this and by then we all will be gone.

    First let the bloggers shut up, do something in real.

    It is even more easy to post comments anonymously like this too.. But at least I have taken a step further. If you don’t have the guts to even post comments with real life identity, what moral grounds do you have to ask others to do action ?

    But honestly, I strongly agree that citizens and leaders should work hand in hand. But are we all leaders? NO. That is why we have elected our representatives who were willing to take up the cause of ordinary citizens.
