NEW DELHI: Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Saturday raised concerns over women’s safety after the alleged gang rape and murder of a minor girl in Delhi’s Swaroop Nagar.
She alleged that hundreds of women facing atrocities and violence were unable to get concrete action against perpetrators, claiming that First Information Reports (FIRs) were not even registered in many cases.
In a post on X, the Congress MP wrote, “In Delhi, all limits of cruelty were crossed against a 17-year-old girl, and after that, she was brutally murdered. Just a few days earlier, another minor girl was raped. No one in the country is willing to take responsibility for women’s safety—only empty talk about women’s development is offered.”
“Hundreds of women face atrocities and violence, but they cannot hope for concrete action against the perpetrators—FIRs aren’t even filed. Both society and the government have completely failed in granting women their rights to safety, freedom, and equality,” the post read.
