There is no denying the fact that we all get disturbed when we get to hear about the rape incidents which take place in our country. It won’t be incorrect to say that we have failed as a nation as we can’t provide a safe atmosphere to the women of the country and the more shocking aspect is that even minor girls are not safe in India.
A 12-yr girl was raped by an unknown man in Chandigarh when she was returning home from school after celebrating the Independence Day. Her only fault was that she took a short cut to her house and the rapist took the opportunity to sexually assault her.
Yeh Hai Mohabbatein’s lead actress Divyanka Tripathi got very much distressed after this shameful incident and expressed her fury on Twitter. She wrote, “Why don’t we give gruesome punishments for gruesome crimes? Yet another rape! What independence are we talking about?”

The actress definitely made a point when she tweeted, “Women must stop voting for any party as they are so unimportant for this nation! It’s a ‘No Woman’s Land’ or a #RapistsParadise we live in! For what must we vote? 70 years of independence hasn’t set us free! All parties must WAKE UP NOW! Every woman deserves security!”

Divyanka went on to say that she doesn’t want to give birth to a daughter as this place is hell for her. She tweeted, “I never prayed for a son but now I’m afraid to have a daughter. What will I tell her? Why did I push her to hell from heaven?”
क्या बेटी बचाओ? अब बेटी को बचाओ।
बेटे की चाहत नहीं,पर अब डरती हूँ बेटी पैदा करने से। क्या कहूँगी,क्यूँ उसे स्वर्ग से नर्क की दहशत में धकेला?— Divyanka T Dahiya (@Divyanka_T) August 16, 2017
In a series of tweets, she expressed her frustration and urged PM Modi to rid India of rapists under Swachh Bharat Abhiyan:
प्रिय @narendramodi जी,#स्वच्छताअभियान के अंतर्गत इस रेपिस्ट नामक कचरे से निजात दिलाइए। घूरे में जी सकते हैं। इन भेड़ियों के डर के साथ नहीं।

She also asked PM Modi to take a strict action against such criminals so that it becomes a lesson for others. She wrote, “Punish these violators in a way that it becomes a lesson to those who think about committing such a crime. We have faith in you, please do something.”
@narendramodi सर, ऐसी सज़ा गढ़िये इन महिलाभक्षियों के लिए कि औरतों को बुरी नज़र से देखने पर भी इन की रूह कांपे! आप पर भरोसा है, कुछ कीजिए।

We can’t agree more with the actress when she replied to a fan who stated “education begins at home” and Divyanka wrote, “We live in fear & criminals live fearlessly! I can teach my daughter great values but in such a scenario can’t promise her a free life!”

Well-said Divyanka! We fully understand her concern and wish that the government takes serious steps to deal with the issue.
