GURGAON: In a remarkable show of benevolence by a state government, Haryana has offered safe passage to 33% women on the road. However, the remaining 67% are responsible for their own safety.
With stalwarts like former CM Om Prakash Chautala and various khap panchayats calling the state home, the Haryana government said it was natural for women to feel safe in such a secure environment.
Readers will recall the demand of Chautala and the khaps of reducing the marriageable age of women to 16. Sources say these learned gentlemen believe the age and marital status of the women is the root cause of all rapes.
"The have discovered the ultimate weapon to combat sexual assault — the mangalsutra," said an official.
But, don't married women get raped, Mocktale asked. A minister puffed out his chest and said proudly, "Not in Haryana. We only grope and molest them." He later went on record to say most rapes are consensual. Reports say their is a consensus in public to jail the minister and let him experience the joys of consensual rape in prison.
Another Haryana MLA urged the press to highlight Haryana as destination for grope visits. "In fact, we have a tourist spot for such activities called Gurgaon. Various MNCs are flocking to it," he added.
Mobs of drunk men assaulting women on Gurgaon roads are chastened by this new development. "Thirty-three per cent is too much yaar. What do we do for entertainment now," asked a burly goon standing beside his SUV. Another one, with a blank look on his face, said: "I was told to hit on women".
These 'gentlemen' have colourful hobbies. Most of them spend their day agitating, blocking roads, burning vehicles and shooting toll booth attendants. At night, they take it easy and assault women for leisure.
The Haryana government meanwhile has released some guidelines for women to follow for their own safety. These include staying at home after dark, not wearing jeans, getting sold legally on the market along with cattle and getting married at 14.
