But a lot of people, at the end of the day, put the blame squarely on the women and say they were dressed provocatively. “The world doesn’t belong to men. If they can wear what they want so can the women. I don’t believe this is so much a problem about sex-starvation, I think it’s more about lawlessness. Hang 10-15 of these men or cut them off and we’ll see how many of them have the guts to do it again,” said Geetika Ganjoo.
Taking off from her point, Alyque Padamsee said that it was disgraceful for any man to think any women is pray. “The rapes in this country happen to lots of women wearing saris or those covered from head to toe. There is basically no sex education to treat women equal to men,” he said.
Challenging Alyque Padamsee’s argument, Geetika Ganjoo said that men tend to target women in western attire because they were still not used to it. “But the point is the cops not coming down heavily on such men. Nab them and punish them,” she said.
So has the time now come for our law enforcement agencies to think of with exemplary punishments?
“The law enforcement agency is not the punishing authority. There are courts involved. Has the media said one positive thing about the police the whole day? It’s the courts that are responsible for punishment, not the police,” said Amrit Brar.
Concluding the debate, Alyque Padamsee said if people could be locked up for one to three days for drunk driving why could the police not take similar action for molestation?
