YAMUNANAGAR | PEN OF DEMOCRACY NEWS DESK

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) staged a protest outside the Congress office in Yamunanagar on Wednesday over the issues of women’s reservation and women’s dignity. Workers of the BJP Mahila Morcha and Yuva Morcha raised slogans against the Congress and burnt an effigy of Rahul Gandhi.

The protest was attended by Yamunanagar MLA Ghanshyam Dass Arora, former mayor Madan Chauhan, BJP district president Rajesh Sapra and other party workers. The demonstrators accused the Congress of adopting an opposing stand on issues concerning women’s dignity and representation.

BJP leaders said the demonstration was intended to convey a message about respect for women and to register their party’s opposition to the Congress. They maintained that political parties should take issues related to women’s rights and representation seriously.

MLA Ghanshyam Dass Arora said every BJP worker was committed to efforts aimed at enhancing the dignity and status of women. He alleged that the Congress had taken an opposing position on issues connected with women’s reservation.

Arora said the effigy-burning programme had been organised at the district level outside the Congress office to communicate the message of respect for women to people across society. He said women’s dignity should remain a priority and that public representatives had a responsibility to promote respect and equal opportunities for women.

BJP district president Rajesh Sapra also criticised the Congress during the demonstration. He alleged that the party was creating an adverse political atmosphere and misleading young people. Sapra said the BJP was committed to the dignity of women and the unity of the country.

He further accused the Congress of supporting elements opposed to the country’s interests and contributing to an atmosphere of disorder. These remarks formed part of the BJP leaders’ political criticism of the opposition during the protest.

The demonstration remained focused on women’s reservation, dignity and the BJP’s allegations against the Congress. Party workers raised slogans and used the effigy-burning programme to publicly express their disagreement with the Congress’s position, as alleged by the BJP leadership.

The protest also highlighted how women’s representation and political accountability continue to feature in party-level political campaigns. The BJP leaders called for greater seriousness among political parties on matters concerning women’s respect and participation in public life.
