AIDWA Burns Effigies of Babas who Violate Women

30 Sep 2017
Previous Next

What

All India Democratic Women’s Association observed Dussehra today by burning the effigy of the so-called (religious) babas, who violate women behind the fig-leaf of religion and the anti-women VC of BHU. These elements get the patronage of the BJP government which has also resulted in the exponential increase in the incidence of violence against women during the 3-years of NDA rule.

The programme was conducted by the Delhi President of JMS and the gathering was addressed by AIDWA General Secretary Mariam Dhawale, and Delhi Secretary Asha Sharma. After the enthusiastic shouting of slogans by dozens of women from all over Delhi, the effigy of Asaram, Ram Rahim, and other babas along with the BHU VC was burnt.
