Wherever strong message on women’s safety needed, efforts made to save accused: Priyanka

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra condemned the atrocities against women in West Bengal, Bihar, Uttarakhand, and Uttar Pradesh, stating that repeated leniency towards perpetrators and political protection granted to them betray women’s safety. She questioned the government’s commitment to protecting women, highlighting recent cases including the rape and murder of a doctor in Kolkata. Gandhi emphasised the urgent need for stronger measures to address the alarming rate of 86 reported rapes per day in the country.
