‘People’s attitude towards women
need to be changed’
--Women in India
can live with dignity: Nirmala
BHUBANESWAR:
“People’s attitude towards women in India
need to be changed. Only law can’t protect the vulnerable group, if the public
fail to bring change in their mindset,” said noted columnist Swapan Dasgupta
attending the first session of Foresight programme organised by the OTV here on
Wednesday.
Dasgupta participating in the
debate on the topic of ‘Can Women in India Live with Dignity?’, said the people
left the Delhi gang-rape victim and her friend unattended for hours, even
police were discussing with themselves about the border of the police station
which shows the ill mindset of the people now days. He said Bhubaneswar
city is far better than Delhi in
this regard.
Another participant and BJP
spokesperson Nirmala Sitharaman said the women in India
could live with dignity. “It is possible to live in India,
but the systems need to be corrected soon,” she said.
Sitharaman further said the
Government should come with affirm actions at the time of need. “Laws are not
up to date to give necessary rights to women,” she said, adding, “Verma
Commission has done a good job, but our system should implement the
recommendations properly.”
Among others, Advertising guru
Prahlad Kakar, veteran journalist Nalini Singh and columnist Leher Kala
participated in the debate.
