JAMMU, Aug 20: When second most populous country in world and the largest ever Rio Olympic contingent was rescued by women only from the complete wash off in terms of medal tally, it's time we think: 'do we really not need girl child to be born despite her being strong enough to excel in any eventuality despite the odds?, stated S S Bijral State Convener Beti Bachao Beti Padhao.
Lauding efforts of Pusarla Venkata Sindhu, popularly known as P V Sindhu, for not only winning Silver Medal in Badminton but also creating history in India, Sakhshi Malik for winning bronze in wrestling and Dipa Karmakar for emerging fourth place (the first ever for any Indian) in Rio Olympics 2016, S S Bijral State Convener Beti Bachao Beti Padhao stated our girl child is a disguised beautiful selfless soul.
"Over centuries, the selfish society made no effort to know her capabilities, instead strived to let her not be born, ensured she stayed weak physically and mentally, to be at mercy of man and confined," Bijral said, while adding, "otherwise born strong, she was rendered weak, and termed 'weak sex' and made dependant."
Former IGP Bijral said likes of P.V.Sindhu, Sakhshi Malik and Dipa Karmaker and many other women who have earned laurels for country in sports. This, he said, happened as their parents nourished their physique and intellect and brought out their hidden gifted abilities, generally remaining suppressed, otherwise, in others.
Motivated by scintillating performance of the therein Rio Olympic, S. S. Bijral made fervent appeal to fellow Indians to rethink about resorting to female foeticide - the greatest sin in the realm of God we worship, and against nation we say our first love. |
