‘Shun harassment of women’

KARIMNAGAR: Yuva Rajyam president and film star Pawan Kalyan on Thursday urged upon the youth to shun eve-teasing and respect the womenfolk for the wellbeing of the society.

Launching his third day’s yatra by addressing a massive youth convention in Karimnagar town, he said that the country which respects the women would definitely progress on all respects. Referring to the acid attack episode on Swapnika in Warangal district, he said that the women have no freedom in the State.

Quoting Mahatma Gandhi, who said that the country would secure Independence only when women walk freely in midnight, he said that presently the women were unable to walk freely in the broad daylight. “The Praja Rajyam party after attaining power will provide security to the womenfolk to at least walk freely in the daylight,” he noted. He said that the ACB authorities were catching only small officials neglecting the corrupt politicians, who were resorting to extortions and making huge wealth after attaining power. He alleged that the Congress symbol was empty hand and it would not give anything to the people.
