Although I love to read newspapers,I rarely buy them.Today was one of those rare days when I had bought one.I opened it and settled down on the couch to read it.
The cover story was about the rape of a five-year old girl in the capital of the nation.A twenty-two year old pervert had brutally assaulted the minor.She was battling for her life in a hospital.The rapist,who was on the run,was finally caught.All the people in the country were protesting...
I grimaced and turned a few pages of the newspaper to see what was happening elsewhere in the country.It was the same story everywhere.Another devil had raped a four-year old and had left her to die.A father-in-law had molested his daughter-in-law.A thirteen-year old wanted to die because she had been raped and her case was not being registered by the police.Rapists and perverts were roaming freely in the country.
For how long are such sinister crimes going to take place? For how long will the devils roam on the loose? For how long will such misogyny and paedophilia continue in our country? For how long will people tolerate such nuisance? For how long will promises about new laws be made? Finally,for how long will the voices of the people be muffled?
