In the history of Indian democracy and student politics, whenever women’s safety, respect and rights are under attack, youth and student organizations are the first to take to the streets and cry for justice. A very sensitive and shameful case of molestation of a girl student, which recently came to light from Jamui district of Bihar, has raised the political and social temperature of the entire state. Since this sensational incident, there was a lot of anger among the common citizens and youth, but this time the matter became more interesting and serious when the anger of the workers and officials of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP – Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad), the student wing of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), burst out openly. Taking a tough stand against the administration and the accused, ABVP workers took out a massive and fiery protest march on the streets of Jamui, strongly demanding immediate arrest of the culprits and strictest punishment to them. Let us delve deeper into every aspect of this high-profile movement and the Jamui molestation scandal and know what the political significance of this protest from the ruling camp is.
According to the information received, a few days ago in Jamui district, a very disgusting incident of public molestation and indecency was carried out by miscreants and bullies with a college going student. When the victim student and her family protested against this act, the accused threatened them of dire consequences. As soon as this incident became public, people got angry at the local level because amid claims of women’s safety, such incidents expose the law and order situation. In the initial phase, when there was some laxity on the part of the police administration in taking prompt and strict action, the matter became more serious. Along with the opposition, now the general public also started asking the question that when there is rule of law in the state, then how are the morale of criminals becoming so high that they are not even afraid of targeting daughters.
The most shocking and politically significant turn of this entire incident came when the workers of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), the student wing of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, took to the streets against the administrative system. It is generally believed that institutions associated with the ruling party avoid openly protesting against the administration during the tenure of their own government, but in the case of Jamui, the anger of the students crossed all limits. Holding placards and raising slogans of justice, hundreds of ABVP workers took out a massive protest march through the main roads of Jamui city. They raised slogans against the police administration and local authorities and warned that if all the main accused were not sent behind bars as soon as possible, the student organization would be forced to launch violent agitation across the state.
After this fierce demonstration of ABVP and political pressure, there is panic in Jamui district administration and police department. The senior officials immediately took cognizance of the matter and instructed the police teams to conduct rapid raids to nab the absconding accused. Student organizations and local citizens say that the police should have shown sensitivity in this matter from day one and taken strict action, but due to the lax attitude, the criminals became more emboldened. Any kind of negligence will not be tolerated on a very sensitive issue like the safety of daughters. The protesters also demanded that a speedy trial should be conducted against such criminals so that such a strong message is sent to the society that no mad person can muster the courage to commit such acts in the future.
After this incident in Jamui and the protest march taken out by the ruling party’s own student organization, there has been an earthquake in the politics of Bihar. Opposition parties are cornering the government on the issue that when the ruling party’s own workers are forced to take to the streets for justice, then it can be understood how unsafe the common people and daughters of the state must be feeling. Political analysts believe that such protests are a warning to both the government and the organization that any negligence in matters of basic safety and respect of the public can prove costly. In the coming times, it will be very important to see how fast the police files the charge sheet in this case and what punishment is given to the accused by the court, but this fight for justice for this daughter of Jamui has given a new twist to the debate on women’s safety in the entire state.
