Shiv Sena (UBT) Targets Modi, Shah Over NCRB Data on Guj’s ‘Missing’ Women, Says This Shows ‘Dark Side’ of State
The Shiv Sena (UBT) has stated that the missing women data put forth by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) for Gujarat illustrates the “dark side” of the state. The party has targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, who were both previously Chief Ministers of Gujarat.
The NCRB’s data, which was released last week, showed that Gujarat has the highest number of missing women in the country, with over 1,500 women unaccounted for in 2020. The data also revealed that the state has the second-highest number of missing children.
In response, the Shiv Sena (UBT) has criticized the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and questioned their claims of women’s safety and empowerment. The party has pointed out that Gujarat, which is often cited as a model state by the BJP, has failed to protect its women.
The party has also accused the BJP of authoritarianism and suppressing dissenting voices. In a statement, the Shiv Sena (UBT) said, “The Modi-Shah regime in Gujarat, and now at the centre, has always suppressed voices that questioned them. They have exhibited a fascist tendency of curbing dissent and ignoring people’s voices.”
Furthermore, the Shiv Sena (UBT) has linked the NCRB’s data to the recent controversy surrounding the alleged rape and murder of a Dalit woman in Hathras, Uttar Pradesh. The party has criticized the BJP for not taking action to prevent such crimes and for promoting a culture of impunity among perpetrators.
The Shiv Sena (UBT) has called for a comprehensive review of the safety and security measures for women across the country, and for the government to take concrete steps to improve the situation.
In conclusion, the Shiv Sena (UBT) has strongly criticized the BJP-led government, saying that the high number of missing women in Gujarat exposes the “dark side” of the state and undermines the government’s claims of women’s safety and empowerment. The party has called for urgent action to address the issue and improve the situation for women across the country.
