Pune:Amid nationwide outrage over the gang-rape of a young
photojournalist in Mumbai, actor Hema Malini today demanded better
policing and government action, but also suggested that women "should
not go anywhere alone".
"Don't take it so easy and go anywhere you want... anythingcan
happen... you can get caught," said the 64-year-oldmother of two
daughters, adding that it was important for women to protect
themselves since "nobody is going to come to protect you."
"Krishna would always come toprotect Draupadi, but we aren't so
spiritually-evolved that God will come and protect us," Ms Malini
said. Today is Janmashtami, celebrated as the Lord Krishna's birthday.
The popular actor and former BJP Member of Parliament was attending a
function in Pune.
Angry women protesters havedemanded to know after the Mumbai incident
why they are offered advice on how to protect themselves just because
the government has failed to protect them in their cities.
The gang-rape of the 22-year-old in the heart of Mumbai last week
reinforced yet again the vulnerability of women across the country,
including the metros, triggering renewed calls for better policing and
tougher punishment for sexual offences and other crimes.
The city, which is considered to be safest in the country, has also
witnessed at least two incidents of attacks on women in local trains
in the past fortnight.
