Jaipur ∙ The Rajasthan government is caught in the allegation that panchayats are also auctioning girls to settle financial transactions. The National Commission for Women, which voluntarily filed a case in the matter, formed a two-member committee to investigate. The BJP accused Priyanka Gandhi of keeping silent on the issues in Congress-ruled states.
On the 25th, a media report emerged on the 25th that girls between the ages of eight and eighteen are being auctioned off to settle financial transactions in 6 districts including Bhilwara in Rajasthan. According to the news, the panchayat also decided to rape the mothers if they violated the contract. The Ashok Gehlot government is keeping silent even though the issue is being discussed.
No action or response has been taken in this regard so far. BJP has come to question this. The BJP alleged that Rajasthan has become the state where girls are subjected to the most violence and that the Congress is keeping silent on the issues of girls.
The National Commission for Women has stated that it has intervened in the matter and appropriate action will be taken. The National Human Rights Commission, which filed the case voluntarily, has asked the Chief Secretary and the DGP of Rajasthan to respond within four weeks. The commission has directed human rights activist Umesh Sharma to submit a detailed report within three months after visiting the incident site.
