Andhra Pradesh women’s Commission
said that not only insulting and belittling women in the name of freedom of expression has caused them more pain. She said that these comments are not only applicable to women in the capital region but to women in the entire state.
She said that the past rulers have opened the curtain on the poisonous culture of belittling women on various media platforms and subjecting them to mental torture. In the last 5 years, the women of the capital region who took to the roads for justice, staged dharnas, and went around the police and the Women’s Commission, were subjected to more torture, said the Chairman of the State Women’s Commission, Smt. Dr. Rayapati Sailaja.
She criticized that such words are causing more pain to the women of the capital region who were hoping for a better future, and that the anti-national attitude of the past rulers towards the capital region has not changed.
She said that she will request the government to take strict action against such analysts, journalists and channels who are misleading the society in the name of journalism, and will submit a petition to the Press Council of India and the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting to take action against TV channels that broadcast such obscene content.
She expressed happiness over the way the police responded to the legal action to be taken in this matter.
She said that cases have already been registered in many places against those who had these conversations and those who helped them. The chairman of the meeting, Smt. Dr. Rayapati Sailaja, said that she will fight until justice is done to the women in this matter, and also asked the journalists who participated in the meeting to co operate with the media.
