LUCKNOW: Nobel Laureate Kailash Satyarthi has stated that it is natural for the students of the Banaras Hindu University to really feel angry over harassment of girls on the campus. But, they should avoid partisan politics and violence. Rather they should stay united and construct more secure instructional areas and, in turn, a more secure India.
He added, "When it comes to ensuring the safety of students on the campus, the onus is on the educational institutes. Speedy and strict action should be taken in such cases, apart from remedial measures to prevent a repeat in the future."
Satyarthi, who was once in Lucknow on Saturday as a part of his Bharat Yatra in opposition to kid sexual abuse and kid trafficking, advised TOI that the country should unite for the protection of children.
As for the general public reaction, Satyarthi stated, "It has been unprecedented, both in terms of sensitization and mass mobilization, and also in terms of policy announcements by chief ministers. So far, over 8 lakh people have marched with me in Bharat Yatra. It's amazing to see how the issue of safety of children can unite the nation."
Satyarthi already has set targets for himself, as soon as the Yatra gets over on October 16. "Our aim is to make at least 1 crore Indians take a pledge that they will continue to fight against this crime. We will try to make such groups a sort of a safety net for children," he stated.
