First
time in Indian Elections (2014) the third largest party, Samajwadi party has shown concern towards the increasing misuse of law and has
promised if it comes to Power, it will ensure strong punishment to those
who misuse the law.
It
was expected that those who promote the misuse of law will try hard to
save guard them, will not keep silent and will hit back.
Yes,
the same we witnessed in last few days, where, by twisting the facts of
what Mr. Mulayam Singh said, had been telecast in few media with only
one-sided view. They did not allow any view of Men right activists or
family right activists too.
Being
a moderator of SIF, I have gone through the Video about what he
actually said. Many media has even cut the first portion of the video to
make Indian society victim of their twisted news.

There are 3 parts of the statement:
- "When
a boy or girls became friends, stayed together, but after some time if
any misunderstanding happens, the girl files rape cases" . Every
one knows that this is unfair because many women/girls also refuse to
marry men even after having physical relations, but do we term those
women/girls as Rapists? Answer is NO. Then why such injustice to men who
refuse to marry the women and are termed as Rapist? Maximum media
avoids this discussion and ignore the need for the necessary changes in
the law.
- "Boys
do mistakes but is Death Penalty Justified?" Death penalty is wrong, as per not only Mr.
Mulayam Singh, even by many hardcore Feminist who also said openly in
various media, along with more than 169 countries, against Death Penalty
for any crime. But media had no problem to that. They have problem if
Mr. Mulayam Singh say the same, as he insisted to punish those who
misuse the rape law. So his words have been twisted as per feminists's
imaginations and placed in front of People that Mr. Mulayam Singh wants
to protect rapist, but they never said why they want to protect the
misusers of Rape law and for those women who refuse to marry a man after
physical relation with him or rape other women or men in India? If
women do not rape men or other women then why are they afraid to make
Rape law as Gender neutral?
- "Strong
punishment to those who misuse the rape law and will change the LAW
accordingly." No media is even
ready to digest this. They forget that the basic principal of criminal
justice system is that a person is innocent till proven guilty, but such
a law is formed that just on assumption as person is guilty till proven
innocent. More than 74% men have proved in court that they did not rape
any women, but they had rot in Jail for months together.
Recently a journalist from Poland, asked me, how a person be given Death Penalty, when the women is alive?
I replied, that it is the beauty of Indian Rape law, in the name of repeat offender, a person can be awarded death in India.
She
asked, is it applicable when a person is convicted, has finished his
jail term and then released and if he does the same offence again then
only one may term him as repeated offender. Right?
I
said, madam, sorry I can’t reply, let's wait for High court and Supreme
Court order and how they define the repeat offender in Indian Criminal
Justice system.
There
was a women in a meeting. She asked me, do you mean, if a person in a
live-in relation turns sour two times, he will be awarded Death as a
repeat offender of Rape ?
I
replied, madam, if a man is in a live-in relation which turns sour two
times he can be hanged, but if women's live-in relation turns sour 10
times also, she will never be termed as Rapist.
Many question and are surprised why Mr. Mulayam Singh said this thing during Elections 2014?
Many
political parties, along with SP, know the truth, how dangerous the
misuse of Rape law is going on in India, but no one has guts to say the
truth or took the stand against this injustice which can’t be justified
in the name of women appeasement.
Misuse
of LAW does not effect only men, it effects many women also, whose
brother, father, Husband, Son or even Boyfriend has been dragged into
False & fabricated Rape case e.g. a women raped 2 to 20 years before
and in all these cases no medical test possible. The cases running for
years together and the person behind bar in the name of investigation,
unable to understand, a incidence which happened (or dint happen) 5 or
15 years back what investigation will reveal, where the medical test of
women is not allowed?
In SIF, we get more than 80% call from such women who seek help for their Husband, Brother, Father, Son or even Boyfriends who faced false/fabricated rape cases , as men always shy away to seek help form others.
Many
had welcomed the stand of SP that they promised to take strong action
against those who misuse the law and decided for the first time they
will vote for SP instead of front line party like BJP or Congress.
The
misusers of LAW got scared, so used the Media Twisted story to fool
Indian society, who even after facing false & fabricated cases are
unable to digest, how Death penalty for Rape cases can be revoked,
without knowing it is the there in more than 169 countries, along with
many hard core feminists of India, not only demand by Mr. Mulayam Singh.
They do not know Death penalty had never reduced any crime, history
witnessed, it only promotes barbarism, increase violence in the society.
But
all men/women are not the Victim of Media Twisted Facts of media, they
had gone through Mr. Mulayam Singh's actual statement from Youtube and
are proud to say that he is not like other Politicians of India, who
play vote bank politics and to appease few women group to promote the
injustice to millions of women and men of their family.
In
any LAW strong Punishment is welcome but it is important that same
should not be unfair and against principle of natural Justice. Any
special LAW needs a Special misuse Clause, just the way law makers have
done in recent LOKPAL law.
Media Twisted story to safeguard the Misusers of Rape Law is highly dangerous for India and every citizen may have to pay the price of such a law irrespective men or women, if they dont wake up today.
One
may Love SP or hate SP, but can’t hide the truth under carpet for so
long. Unfair, biased law or policy is bound to create Backlash, history
witnessed.
Injustice some where is direct threat of Justice every where.
