espite the Karnataka High Court’s restrictions,the BJP leaders have visited the victimised woman who was partially stripped in a village in Belagavi district,thus not only flouting the court’s directive but also displaying their insensitivity.
The Chief Justice of the High Court,while suo-motu taking cognisance of the incident,had suggested this morning that visits to the traumatised woman,who is severely distressed,should be restricted.
This directive was notably given in the context of news about political leaders planning to visit the victimised woman.The Chief Justice’s suggestion in this situation is noteworthy.
Considering that the woman is receiving medical treatment,visitors’ interactions could impact her health and treatment.
Therefore,the High Court stated that it is necessary to restrict visits to the woman for her well-being.
The High Court had ordered that no individual,group, organisation,political party,or others should visit the woman without prior written permission from the chief medical officer of the hospital responsible for her treatment.
Despite this,the BJP leaders,in a move to use a tragic incident for political gain,have visited the victimised woman in the name of ‘truth-seeking’.
It shows their blatant disregard to the court’s orders and instructions.
The insensitivity and lack of respect shown by BJP leaders and their national president J P Nadda,who is supporting this behaviour,must be condemned by everyone.
