President’s Rule is the only alternative considering the kind of atrocities, violence and sexual harassment that the women of Sandeshkhali in North 24 Parganas District in West Bengal are facing, the Nation Commission for Women (NCW) Chairperson Rekha Sharma said on Monday.
“I spoke to the women there today. I have received 18 complaints, out of which two are rape complaints. The local women have no faith in the state police. So, in my opinion President’s Rule is the only alternative,” Sharma said while speaking to media persons after interacting with the victims at Sandeshkhali.
She also said that apart from the two complaints of rape, there were many complaints of molestation.
