‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’ slogan
is humbuggery - Shobha Ojha
Addressing a press conference yesterday at the residence HPCC president Dr Ashok Tanwar in Sirsa, Smt Shobha Ojha, national
president ‘All India Mahila Congress’ said that the much hyped slogan ‘Beti Bachao,
Beti Padhao’ of the BJP Govt. was nothing more than humbuggery, one hand
the Govt is propelling this slogan, on the other Haryana Govt has already cut
the budget meant for the welfare of the women by 50%. Haryana Govt. is not
filling the vacancies of school teachers and is instead resorting to Lathicharge on protesting teachers. How will it accomplish ‘Beti Padhao’ in
schools sans teachers? She asked.

Atrocities and crime on women
in Haryana have increased substantially during the BJP rule; discrimination
against women and backward classes is on the rise. By delaying the Panchayati
Raj Institutions and Local bodies’ elections, BJP Govt. in Haryana is obstructing
the democratic rights of people. She reminded the same tact of BJP played in
Gujarat where Panchayat much delayed elections could be held only after the
intervention of the Court of Law. ‘Aam Aadmi ka Adhikar Chinana BJP
ka Kaam’ she quipped.
Speaking on inflation she said
that BJP Governments have always promoted hoarding and hoarders, this has
resulted in sharp rise in commodities and essential goods, if this was not
enough a 0.5% cess in the name of ‘Swachata Abhiyaan’ has been clamped over, but
‘Swachata’ is visible nowhere. This will only be a further burden on middle and
lower middle class, she added.
Commenting on Bihar elections,
she said that people of Bihar have voted with great wisdom and given a thumping
mandate against communal designs of BJP and RSS. Congress always stands behind those
who are opposed to communal forces.
Answering to question about
BJP’s belittling the legacy of Nehru and Gandhi she said that BJP and RSS had
absolutely no role in the freedom struggle of India, any attempt to dilute the
contribution of Nehru and Gandhi and other leaders of that time will only
backfire against BJP as public is wise enough and know the history very well.
Before that she presided over a
program on women empowerment commemorating the birth anniversary of Late Smt.
Indira Gandhi at Congress Bhawan Sirsa. She was flanked by Mrs Avantika Makan
Tanwar, Dr Ashok Tanwar, Smt Sumitra Chauhan state president Mahila Congress
Haryana, Smt Neetu Verma, Smt Urmil Bhardwaj etc. The program was well attended
and marked the presence of large number of women.
