KPCC spokesperson questions BJP's silence on Sangh Parivar activist in filming woman in bathroom
Udupi: The silence of the BJP and Sangh Parivar leaders regarding a case of a Sangh Parivar member filming a woman taking a bath in Pakshikere, Mulki town, has drawn criticism from KPCC spokesperson Veronica Cornelio. In a recent press release, Cornelio pointed out the contrasting reactions of these leaders, who were vocal about an alleged video filmed in the washroom of an Udupi paramedical college, but remained silent on the incident involving one of their own members.
Questioning their approach, Cornelio highlighted that while the BJP often emphasizes the worship of women as deities, their response appears to be influenced by the religion and caste of the accused when protesting against mistreatment of women. She urged the BJP leaders to recognize that the victim in the Mulki case who was being filmed by a Sangh Parivar activist while taking bath is also a girl, and in other instances, such as the Dalit minor who was a victim of gang rape in Vitla, the perpetrators belonged to the Sangh Parivar.
Drawing attention to the disparate treatment of such cases, Cornelio accused the leaders of demonstrating double standards and hypocrisy in their response to incidents of ill-treatment of women.
