Mumbai: Actor Nana Patekar has started a strong discussion with his recent statement about women leaders in politics.
He said that if 78 women MPs cannot speak in Parliament for a girl who suffered such a serious crime, then their role has no value. His words show the anger many people feel about silence on crimes against women.
In India, crimes against women are still a big problem. Many cases are reported every year, but people feel that justice is often slow. Because of this, there is a demand for strict laws and quick action.
Women MPs are expected to raise such issues and support victims. But some people believe that leaders are not speaking enough on these matters.
After Nana Patekar’s statement, many people shared their views online. Some supported him and said leaders should speak more. Others said that all politicians, not just women MPs, should take responsibility.
This issue has again raised a big question—are our leaders doing enough to protect women and give justice?
