NCP Leader Urges Presidential Immunity for 'One Murder' to Combat Gender Violence

Rohini Khadse's Women's Day appeal highlights rising crimes against women and calls for symbolic action against oppressive mindsets.

Rohini Khadse, president of NCP(SP)'s women's wing, wrote to President Droupadi Murmu requesting immunity for women to commit 'one murder' as a symbolic act against gender violence.
The letter, written on International Women’s Day, referenced the gangrape of a 12-year-old girl in Mumbai to underscore the severity of crimes against women in India.
Khadse emphasized the need to 'kill' oppressive mentalities, rapist tendencies, and inefficiencies in law enforcement to create a safer environment for women.
A survey was cited in the letter labeling India as one of the most unsafe countries for women due to high rates of kidnapping, domestic violence, and other crimes.
Reactions to the appeal were mixed, with some political figures criticizing it as extreme while others interpreted it as a metaphorical call for systemic change.
