[MTC Global] AN APPEAL TO THE NOBLE CITIZENS OF INDIA by General (Retd) VK Singh

 

 

PRESS NOTE

AN APPEAL TO THE NOBLE CITIZENS OF INDIA

We live in our individual cocoons of comfort and hope something drastic doesn't happen to us that will shatter our little worlds. Today, a major part of our collective soul has died and our voices can only helplessly express our anguish at what not just this brave girl has gone through, but what each and every rape victim goes through in our land. Physical rape is invariably followed by mental trauma unleashed by a society and a system that is cold, callous and insensitive to the plight of countless victims. We are the People, and we have watched helplessly as the rot has set into every institution. In the greed for power and personal wealth, every rotten egg that has been laid by those who were entrusted with our Governance since independence is today hatching. Along with millions of my countrymen I can only extend my deepest condolences to the family of the victim and to the families of all the others who have suffered in silence. We must cut across party lines; and, society as a whole must come together to stop this carnage. The laws are already there, it is our absolute failure to implement them that has brought us to this abyss.

 General (Retd) VK Singh
