Overview

  • At a national press conference, Mahila Congress president Alka Lamba relaunched the Nyay March to demand fast-track courts together with proper compensation and security for victims’ families in BJP-ruled states.
  • She highlighted the case of a 15-year-old girl from Odisha who was set on fire in Puri district and later died at AIIMS Delhi, criticizing state authorities for failing to identify the perpetrators.
  • Lamba cited Madhya Pradesh Assembly data showing that 7,418 SC-ST women were raped in the state between 2022 and 2024 to underscore systemic failures in policing and judiciary delays.
  • She accused Chhattisgarh police of detaining women associated with Christian missionaries in the name of religion and condemned a traffic police poster in Ahmedabad warning that daughters could be raped if they went out at night.
  • Pointing to Prajwal Revanna’s life sentence for rape despite his BJP campaign support, she argued the verdict underscores the need for unbiased legal processes.
