Mahila Congress holds protest demanding arrest of Prajwal Revanna in sex scandal case
Mangaluru: Today, the District Women's Congress staged a protest demanding the immediate arrest of Prajwal Revanna. Led by Shalet Pinto, president of the district women's unit, the demonstrators gathered in front of the Congress office in Mallikatte.
Chanting slogans calling for Prajwal's arrest and justice for women, the protesters voiced their discontent with the handling of the case. Shalet Pinto accused the BJP, led by Prime Minister Modi, of shielding him from accountability. She questioned the BJP's commitment to the "Beti Bachao" (Save Daughter) initiative, highlighting the silence on the pen drive.
Former Chief Minister Kumaraswamy's remarks about women beung misled by Congress guarantees were rebuffed, with Shalet Pinto asserting that it was JDS leaders who had strayed from principles, resulting in the suffering of numerous women and their families. Urging for Prajwal's immediate arrest and stringent punishment, she spoke on the necessity of ensuring women's safety for the protection of the nation.
The protesters condemned the BJP and its ally JDS for failing to safeguard women, asserting that only the Congress could lead the country to development.
Shantala Gatti, Sasikala, Tanveer Shah, Sarika Pujari, and Shahul Hameed, among others were present.
