SDPI Workers Manhandle NGO Volunteers For Sensitising Muslim Women About Rights
Social Democratic Party’s nationwide protest.
Members of the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI), an offshoot of the radical Muslim outfit Popular Front of India, which was recently in news for its involvement in the murder of a Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) activist, reportedly manhandled and abused representatives of a Non-Government Organisation (NGO) working on gender equality and child development in Tamil Nadu’s Sivaganga district.
The Trichi-based NGO, Women’s Integrated National Development Trust (WIND), was conducting a survey on Muslim women’s rights. According to the director of the NGO, A Kamila, efforts of the workers to spread awareness among Muslim women about their rights did not go down well with the SDPI.
In a press conference, members of the NGO said that the perpetrators are yet to be arrested and had been posting derogatory material about them on social media platforms. “They are distributing pamphlets in public and also putting up vicious posts on social media by branding our NGO as an agent of the RSS,” Kamila said, adding that the NGO’s only motive was to sensitise Muslim women about their right.
Victims claimed the perpetrators were yet to be arrested because the state police allegedly fears a backlash from other pro-Muslim groups.
