Women in positions of responsibility should other women move forward: Delhi CM
New Delhi (PTI): Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Saturday said that capable women in positions of responsibility should help other women by providing the support and opportunities needed to move forward.
Speaking at the "Bharati Naari to Narayani: National Convention of Women Thought Leaders" organised by Rashtriya Sevika Samiti, Gupta said women must work together to ensure that the next generation of girls gets better opportunities.
The chief minister said the country is progressing, and it is important that daughters receive the courage and opportunities that many women earlier could not get.
She said women who are currently holding positions of responsibility should extend support to others who need guidance, resources and encouragement to advance in life.
"When women hold each other's hands and move forward together, it becomes easier for the coming generations to progress with confidence," Gupta said.
The chief minister congratulated the organisers for holding discussions over two days and said such platforms can provide direction and motivation to women to contribute actively in different sectors. She also expressed hope that the deliberations during the convention would help strengthen efforts aimed at supporting women and encouraging greater participation of girls and women in the country's development process.

Court can reject anticipatory bail but cannot direct accused to surrender: SC
New Delhi (PTI): A court can reject anticipatory bail of an accused but it has no jurisdiction to direct him to surrender before the trial court, the Supreme Court has said.
A bench of Justices J B Pardiwala and Ujjal Bhuyan made the observation while hearing a plea filed by a man accused of cheating and forgery.
"If the court wants to reject the anticipatory bail, it may do so, but the court has no jurisdiction to say that the petitioner should now surrender," the bench said.
The Jharkhand High Court had rejected anticipatory bail plea of the accused and asked him to surrender and seek regular bail.
In this case, a complaint had been filed before a magistrate alleging offences under Sections 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 420 (cheating), 467 (forgery of valuable security), 468 (forgery for purpose of cheating), 471 (using forged document) and 120B read with 34 of the IPC, in connection with a land dispute.
The high court had dismissed the second anticipatory bail application of the accused on the ground that no new circumstances were shown.
It had relied on its earlier order rejecting his first anticipatory bail plea, in which the court directed the petitioner to surrender before the trial court and seek regular bail in terms of the decision in Satender Kumar Antil v. CBI.
The top court said such a direction was wholly without jurisdiction and said that if a court chooses to reject anticipatory bail, it may do so, but it cannot compel the accused to surrender.
