UP Women 42% more unsafe , 45% more helpless in TIPU’s rule than BAHINJI’s , reveals RTI

42% increase in cases of crime against women, 45% decrease in disposal
of women's complaints, 557% increase in pendency of women's
complaints, disposal diminished from 85% to 33% in SP's rule : In
71% time of this fiscal UPSWC merely consumed 40% of its non-salary
allocations.

Dear Friend,
As soon as power was exchanged in UP from BSP to SP, Uttar Pradesh
State Women Commission ( UPSWC ) receipt counters witnessed spurt in
complaints from victim women of UP and situation is even worsening
with SP nearing to complete its third year in Power. All the
inaugurations and launchings, made by Akhilesh Yadav, in the name of
Women-empowerment or in the name of stalling the crimes against women
etc. have proved to be mere rhetoric with no actual respite to the
half-population of the largest ( population-wise) state of India.

RTI data received under RTI from UPSWC paints a seriously grim picture
of two & half year rule of Akhilesh Yadav, with is exactly half tenure
of present Government (provided claims made by Laxmikant Bajpai of
BJP about SP 70 MLAs being in touch with BJP are not true ).RTI data
immensely downgrades Akhilesh Yadav with respect to his predecessor
Mayawati when it comes to safety and security of women in UP.

RTI data also exposes UP police department's inability to properly
address cases related to crime against women because its an eternal
truth that a women approaches women commission only when she fails to
get justice from the police.

Snapshots of data comparison of ending two & half year rule of
Mayawati & two & half year rule of Akhilesh Yadav reveals that crime
against women increased by 42% in Tipu's Raj as compared to Bahinji's.
Victim Women became more helpless in SP's rule as disposal rate of
complaints received in UPSWC decreased by 45% as compared to BSP's
Rule. Even UPWC failed to properly address the traumatic problems of
half-population of UP as pendency rose by a whopping 557% in Akhiles's
regime when compared to Mayawati's. Disposal rate at UPWC was 85% in
Mayaraj which has diminished to a mere 33% in Akhileshraj despite
there being 25 members working at UPSWC ( including Chairman ).

RTI shows that UPSWC's other than salary budget is Rs. 1 crore but
during 8 & a half months time UPSWC has consumed less than 40 lakh
rupees meaning thereby that during 71% time of this fiscal UPSWC has
consumed 40% of its fiscal non-salary allocations. To me, this is
just because of slack, indifferent, insensitive and corrupt mindset of
members at UPWC towards problems of women who are there just to
show-off there position and later be a part of general- loot-culture
like all other government departments consuming there budgets during
end of month of march in that fiscal year.

If Akhilesh Yadav will still say that as a CM, he really feels the
woes of Women living in UP and is serious to address & resolve them?
To me he is only a good actor which he should be because he has long
been in the company of acting-stalwarts like Big B, Jaya Prada, Jaya
Bacchan and many more. But People don't want actors acting while
sitting in the chair of Rulers. People want honest hearts and when one
inaugurates something with honest heart, the whole world tastes the
fruit of success cultivated out of this inauguration.

The big question is whether situation will not deteriorate in rest 2 &
½ year rule Akhilesh and will Akhilesh be able to move nearer and/or
touch the benchmarks on women-safety, set by his predecessor Mayawati,
leave alone the question of surpassing them.

My straight answer is, not at all and this answer is just because in
his first half tenure as CM, Akhilesh has, through his various acts
have proved that he is too immature a politician to effectively rule a
state like UP.

UP Women 42% more unsafe , 45% more helpless in TIPU’s rule than BAHINJI’s , reveals RTI : यूपी : कटघरे में अखिलेश के महिला-अस्मिता सुरक्षित रखने के वादे : मायाराज के मुकाबले अखिलेशराज में महिलाओं की आबरू को खतरा 42% ज्यादा, मदद में 45% कमी !

UP Women 42% more unsafe , 45% more helpless in TIPU's rule than
BAHINJI's , reveals RTI : यूपी : कटघरे में अखिलेश के महिला-अस्मिता
सुरक्षित रखने के वादे : मायाराज के मुकाबले अखिलेशराज में महिलाओं की
आबरू को खतरा 42% ज्यादा, मदद में 45% कमी !

42% increase in cases of crime against women, 45% decrease in disposal
of women's complaints, 557% increase in pendency of women's
complaints, disposal diminished from 85% to 33% in SP's rule : In

Dear Friend,
अखिलेश भले ही सैफई महोत्सव में महिला सशक्तीकरण की बात करें, कैबिनेट
में राज्य महिला सशक्तिकरण मिशन के लिए प्रावधान को मंजूरी दें ,रानी
लक्ष्मीबाई सम्मान कोष की स्थापना करें या महिला हेल्पलाइन की बात करें
या और कोई घोषणा पर यदि राज्य महिला आयोग के आंकड़ों को सूचक माना जाये
तो सिद्ध होता है कि महिलाओं के सम्मान को सुरक्षित रखने, महिला अपराधों
पर लगाम लगाने और पीड़ित महिलाओं को मदद मुहैया कराने में अपने ढाई वर्ष
के कार्यकाल में अखिलेश यादव अपनी पूर्ववर्ती मायावती के मुकाबले नितांत
असफल ही रहे हैं l

महिला आयोग में मेरे द्वारा दायर एक आरटीआई से खुलासा हुआ है कि मायावती
के नेतृत्व बाली बहुजन समाज पार्टी सरकार के मुकाबले अखिलेश के नेतृत्व
बाली समाजवादी सरकार में महिला आयोग में दर्ज शिकायतों में 42% की वृद्धि
हुई तो वहीं मामलों के निस्तारण में 45% की कमी आयी है l मायाराज में
महिला आयोग में दर्ज शिकायतों के निस्तारण की दर 85% थी जो अखिलेश के समय
में घटकर महज 33% रह गयी है जिसकी वजह से महिला आयोग में लंबित मामलों
में 557% की भारीभरकम बढ़ोत्तरी दर्ज की गयी है l सभी आंकड़े मायावती के
अंतिम ढाई वर्ष के कार्यकाल और अखिलेश के आरंभिक ढाई वर्ष के कार्यकाल
के हैं l


महिला आयोग के आंकड़े बताते हैं कि मायावती के अंतिम ढाई वर्ष के कार्यकाल
( 15-09-2009 से 14-03-2012 तक ) में महिला आयोग को महिला उत्पीड़न के
55301 मामले पंहुचे जो अखिलेश के आरंभिक ढाई वर्ष के कार्यकाल (
15-03-2012 से 14-09-2014 तक ) में बढ़कर 78483 हो गए l मायावती के अंतिम
ढाई वर्ष के कार्यकाल ( 15-09-2009 से 14-03-2012 तक ) में महिला आयोग
द्वारा महिला उत्पीड़न के 47319 मामले निस्तारित हुए जो अखिलेश के
आरंभिक ढाई वर्ष के कार्यकाल ( 15-03-2012 से 14-09-2014 तक ) में घटकर
26007 रह गए l वित्तीय वर्ष 2014 -15 में 16 दिसम्बर तक राज्य महिला
आयोग गैर वेतन मद में प्राप्त 1 करोड़ में से 40 लाख से भी कम धनराशि
ही खर्च कर पाया है l


इन आंकड़ों के खुलासे से अखिलेश के महिला-अस्मिता सुरक्षित रखने के वादे
कटघरे में आ गए है और महिला आयोग की कार्यप्रणाली पर एक बड़ा प्रश्नचिन्ह
लग गया है l इन आंकड़ों के खुलासे से यूपी पुलिस की महिलाओं को न्याय दे
पाने में असफलता भी सामने आ रही है क्योंकि एक महिला पुलिस से निराश होने
पर ही महिला आयोग में जाती है l महिला आयोग की अकर्मण्यता का तो हाल ये
है कि 25 सदस्यीय महिला आयोग वित्तीय वर्ष 2014 -15 के 71% समय में गैर
वेतन मद का महज 40 % ही खर्च कर पाया है हाँ यह बात अलग है कि महिला
आयोग के अधिकांश सदस्य सत्ताधारी समाजवादी पार्टी के प्रचारकों का काम
बखूबी कर रहे हैं l

यूपी में बेघरों की ठण्ड से हो रही मौतों की कीमत पर 'सैफई' में मनोरंजन कर रही बेशर्म अखिलेश सरकार // सैफई महोत्सव के आयोजन को सरकारी तौर पर मनाने, सरकारी खर्चों के सबाल पर बचकाने बहाने बना सूचना के आवेदन से लुकाछिपी खेल रहे संस्कृति विभाग के अधिकारी /// तहरीर ने राज्यपाल, मानवाधिकार आयोफ और संयुक्त राष्ट्र संघ को शिकायत प्रेषित कर की ठण्ड से हो रही मौतों और महोत्सव के बेहिसाब सरकारी खर्चों की जांच की मांग l

Press-Release / TAHRIR / 30 December 2014 / Lucknow , Uttar Pradesh , India.///Death Toll In Uttar Pradesh Due to Cold has Rises to 125 but instead of doing something concrete to stop the homeless from dying due to cold, UP Govt. is busy providing 'Right to Entertainment' to Safai.

Recently, Uttar Pradesh's biggest rural festival, Saifai Mahotsava, being held at the native village of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, organised by the Samajwadi Party MP Tej Pratap Yadav was inaugurated by Rajya Sabha MP Jaya Bachchan. Ruling Yadav clan of Uttar Pradesh was present in full force at Samajwadi Party president Mulayam Singh Yadav's home district Mainpuri last Friday to launch the 17th edition of Saifai Mahotsav.


In 2013, the extravagant festival was criticised in view of the Muzaffaranagar riots. Facing flak over the festivities in Saifai, Last year Uttar Pradesh Government went too law to ban media from Saifai Mahotsav from covering the event.
However, that did not deter Samajwadi Party Government to celebrate the festival this year. Mulayam Singh Yadav went ahead and said that not only the people living in urban centers have the right to enjoy dance, but rural folks also take pleasure in it. Mulayam linked it to 'right to entertainment'.

Mulayam Singh's nephew Ranbir Singh used to hold an annual wrestling meet in Saifai but after his demise in 1997, the party started organising the event as Saifai Mahotsav every year so much so that the event became a state financed event whenever Samajwadi party was in Power in Uttar Pradesh.


This year also, Uttar Pradesh's Culture Department Secretary Anita Meshram might have made media statements that state government has approved Rs. 1 crore for the mahotsav but the fact is that the state funded Saifai mahotsavs are closely-guarded secrets for UP government so much so that Culture department's spineless officials are forced to make lame excuses and play 'Hide & Seek' with info-seeker's RTI pleas just to avert disclosure of info even when sought under RTI act.

A year ago, on 26-12-2013, this Lucknow based Social Activist Sanjay Sharma had shot off a RTI plea to the PIO of CM office of UP. On first point, Sanjay sought documents contained in files related to the whole processes from proposal to decision making regarding organizing of all Saifai Mahotsavas to which Dr. Lavkush Dwivedi of Culture Directorate of UP, on 18 December 2014, has informed Sanjay that Information sought by him is not clear. On Second point, Sanjay sought info of Money spent from state coffers on all 'Safai Mahotsavas' ( Starting from very first Mahotsava ) to which Dr. Lavkush Dwivedi has written that it was not clear in RTI plea as to details of which year were sought by Sanjay. On Third point, Sanjay sought Money earned by state Govt. from organizing of all 'Safai Mahotsavas' ( Starting from very first Mahotsava ) to which Dr. Lavkush Dwivedi has written that No such points related to income from organizing of all 'Safai
Mahotsavas' are concern of Culture Department.


"Saifai mahotsavs are closely-guarded secrets for UP government so much so that Culture department's spineless officials are forced to make lame excuses and play 'Hide & Seek' with my RTI plea just to avert disclosure of info even when sought under RTI act, so I have every reason to doubt intentions of SP Govt. in organizing such Mahotsavas" said Sanjay.


Sanjay told that on 13 January 2014,he had filed another RTI application in the office of the district magistrate, Etawah but this has got no response till date. This application sought response on the money spent in holding the event, guest list, programme list, money spent by district administration and state government and frequency of flights that operated to bring guests to the venue but on none of the eleven points information ever came. "Even UP state information commission, full of sycophant info-commissioners, refused to listen to my complaint and same was dismissed by Information commissioner Vijay Shankar Sharma" said Sanjay.


With grim picture being painted by UPSIC, the highest authority in RTI matters in UP, Sanjay feels that info on loot of public money on such events shall always remain a secret.


Terming State Govt's illogical viewpoint of providing 'Right to Entertainment' to Safai @ deprivation of 'Right to life' to homeless of UP as tragic, inhumane and autocratic, Sanjay condemned spending on Safai Mahotsava from State coffers as a shear wastage of public money and that too only to quench of thirst of unending Ego of political rulers of UP and referring the Death Toll In Uttar Pradesh Due to Cold as 125, demanded the Govt. to ensure 'Right to Life' to each n every homeless of UP before going to Safai like events.


Sanjay told that he is approaching Raj Bhavan of UP to personally meet the Governor and apprise him of this high handed approach of rulers of UP in this matter in detail to bring things to their logical ends.

Mahotsava behind iron curtains: Request to intervene, take appropriate
action and provide time for a personal meeting with TAHRIR's
delegation to discuss things in detail.

Sir,
TAHRIR ( Transparency, Accountability & Human Rights initiative for
revolution ) is a Bareilly/Lucknow based Social Organization, working
at grass-root level by taking up & solving issues related to
strengthening transparency & accountability in public life and
protection of Human Rights in India.

We have come to know that death Toll In Uttar Pradesh Due to Cold has
Rises to 125 but instead of doing something concrete to stop the
homeless from dying due to cold, UP Govt. is busy providing 'Right to
Entertainment' to Safai.

Recently, Uttar Pradesh's biggest rural festival, Saifai Mahotsava,
being held at the native village of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister
Akhilesh Yadav, organised by the Samajwadi Party MP Tej Pratap Yadav
was inaugurated by Rajya Sabha MP Jaya Bachchan. Ruling Yadav clan of
Uttar Pradesh was present in full force at Samajwadi Party president
Mulayam Singh Yadav's home district Mainpuri last Friday to launch the
17th edition of Saifai Mahotsav.

In 2013, the extravagant festival was criticised in view of the
Muzaffaranagar riots. Facing flak over the festivities in Saifai, Last
year Uttar Pradesh Government went too law to ban media from Saifai
Mahotsav from covering the event.

However, that did not deter Samajwadi Party Government to celebrate
the festival this year. Mulayam Singh Yadav went ahead and said that
not only the people living in urban centers have the right to enjoy
dance, but rural folks also take pleasure in it. Mulayam linked it to
'right to entertainment'.

Mulayam Singh's nephew Ranbir Singh used to hold an annual wrestling
meet in Saifai but after his demise in 1997, the party started
organising the event as Saifai Mahotsav every year so much so that the
event became a state financed event whenever Samajwadi party was in
Power in Uttar Pradesh.

This year also, Uttar Pradesh's Culture Department Secretary Anita
Meshram might have made media statements that state government has
approved Rs. 1 crore for the mahotsav but the fact is that the state
funded Saifai mahotsavs are closely-guarded secrets for UP government
so much so that Culture department's spineless officials are forced to
make lame excuses and play 'Hide & Seek' with info-seeker's RTI pleas
just to avert disclosure of info even when sought under RTI act.

An year ago, on 26-12-2013, I had shot off a RTI plea to the PIO of CM
office of UP. On first point, I sought documents contained in files
related to the whole processes from proposal to decision making
regarding organizing of all Saifai Mahotsavas to which Dr. Lavkush
Dwivedi of Culture Directorate of UP, on 18 December 2014, has
informed Sanjay me that Information sought by me is not clear. On
Second point, I sought info of Money spent from state coffers on all
'Safai Mahotsavas' ( Starting from the very first Mahotsava ) to which
Dr. Lavkush Dwivedi has written that it was not clear in RTI plea as
to details of which year were sought by me. On Third point, I sought
Money earned by state Govt. from organizing of all 'Safai Mahotsavas'
( Starting from the very first Mahotsava ) to which Dr. Lavkush
Dwivedi has written that No such points related to income from
organizing of all 'Safai Mahotsavas' are concerns of Culture
Department of UP. Copy of my RTI plea & RTI reply is attached.

Saifai mahotsavs are closely-guarded secrets for UP government so much
so that Culture department's spineless officials are forced to make
lame excuses and play 'Hide & Seek' with my RTI plea just to avert
disclosure of info even when sought under RTI act, so I have every
reason to doubt intentions of SP Govt. in organizing such Mahotsavas
and the real spending made by UP Government in organizing these
mahotsavas.

On 13 January 2014,I had filed another RTI application in the office
of the district magistrate, Etawah but this has got no response till
date. This application sought information on the money spent in
holding the event, guest list, programme list, money spent by district
administration and state government and frequency of flights that
operated to bring guests to the venue but on none of the eleven points
information ever came. Even UP state information commission, full of
sycophant info-commissioners, refused to listen to my complaint and
same was dismissed by Information commissioner Vijay Shankar Sharma. I
had submitted a complaint against sycophant info-commissioner Vijay
Shankar Sharma with you which has already been sent to administrative
reforms department of Uttar Pradesh for initiating punitive action
against info-commissioner Vijay Shankar Sharma but that also brought
no respite to me so far as the impart of information on SAIFAI
mahotsava is concerned.

With grim picture being painted by UPSIC, the highest authority in RTI
matters in UP, I feel that info on loot of public money on such events
shall always remain a secret.

We, at TAHRIR feel that State Government's illogical viewpoint of
providing 'Right to Entertainment' to Safai at the cost of deprivation
of 'Right to life' to homeless of UP is tragic, inhumane and
autocratic and so we are condemning these behind the iron-curtain
spending on Safai Mahotsava from State coffers as a shear wastage of
public money and that too when all this is being done at the whims &
fancies of ruling Yadav Clan of UP, just to quench of thirst of
unending Ego of these insensitive political rulers of UP.

TAHRIR feels that the death toll In Uttar Pradesh Due to Cold as 125
is a not only deprivation of 'Right to life' to the deceased but a
complete failure of UP Government's functioning also and so we are
raising our demand to inquire all incidents of these deaths, get FIRs
of murder registered against the public authorities who failed to
protect these deaths due to cold and take appropriate measures to
ensure 'Right to Life' to each n every homeless of UP before
Government is going to Safai Mahotsava like events.

Sir, TAHRIR is , through this memorandum approaching your good-self to
personally meet us so that we should apprise your good-self with
TAHRIR's point of view of this high handed approach of rulers of UP in
this matter in detail so that things should be brought to their
logical ends. In the meantime, your good-self is requested to
intervene and take appropriate action in this matter and oblige.

Copy Being sent to under-mentioned with humble request to initiate
inquiry into these matters of violation of Right to life to the
homeless because of negligence on the part of state authorities who
failed to protect 'Right to Life' of the diseased who lost their lives
because of their untimely deaths due to cold weather :
