Why are women ministers silent on Paloncha deaths: Mahila Congress
The Hindu
It is unfortunate the Telangana CM has not even condemned the incident, says Sunita Rao
Congress continued to put pressure on the government for the police’s failure to arrest Vanama Raghavender, son of TRS MLA Vanama Venkateshwar Rao, alleged to be the reason behind the suicide of debt-ridden businessman Ramakrishna’s family of four in Paloncha.
The Mahila Congress staged a silent protest wearing black ribbons at the Gandhi statue in Gandhi Bhavan and wondered what message the government wants to send to the women of Telangana by secretly ‘supporting’ Mr. Vanama Raghavender.
Telangana Mahila Congress chief Sunita Rao warned that the women would send bangles to the top functionaries in the government to expose their inefficiency to respond when the entire State was moved by the suicide pact. She said women expected Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao to send a message of confidence. It is unfortunate that he has not even condemned the incident showcasing how he prefers politics over protection of women.
