The Bengaluru mass molestation incident has once again proved that even after so many years of Independence, women in India are still not safe from the devils who consider women as objects of pleasure and things seem to go worst from worse. What makes it more gruesome is the fact that there are people who try to justify this act of shame and blame the women for whatever happened with them.
To begin with, the state home minister, G Parmeshwara, took the whole incident very casually when he said that these things do happen on such occasions and then came comments from the Samajwadi leader Abu Azmi.
They both received flak on the social media networks but Abu Azmi’s son, Farhan Azmi, who is married to a Bollywood actress Ayesha Takia, took to Twitter when his father was criticized heavily by actress Esha Gupta.
This is what Esha tweeted:

Now this was enough for Farhan and he chose to reply Esha:
Esha, woman who gave birth to @abuasimazmi is my grandma,who is no longer amongst us to defend herself.She was far more dignified than U🖕🏻 https://t.co/ZfxSdNpTOT

तन बेचकर दो रोटी जो कमाए उसे हम वेशया नाम देकर ज़लील करते हैं,दूसरी ओर तन की नुमाइश कर करोड़ों कमाने वालों को सम्मानित @eshagupta2811 क्यूँ?

महिलाओं को आर्ट की आड़ में कभी तंदूरी मुरग़ी तो कभी झंडू बाम कहा जाता, उसी गीत पर सोसायटी के शुभचिंतक विदेशी शराब की चुस्कियाँ लेते हैं..तब?

He also took a dig at Farhan Akhtar who made fun of Abu Azmi. This is what Farhan Akhtar tweeted:
Women should not dress like westerners b'coz men dressed like westerners are molesters, says the man in the shirt.#oxy(deprived)morons

Farhan Azmi replied in this manner, calling Akhtar a hypocrite:
Shame that you @FarOutAkhtar are the @UN_Women goodwill ambassador yet U found no words to demand action against a single rapist #hypocrite

Well, these Twitter battles may calm down the egos of these people, but the real question is that when will we be able to say and feel that India is safe for women? What do you think? Share your views in the comments section below.
