PM Modi must now use this opportunity to legislate institutional mechanisms to change the system so that this movement goes beyond hashtags. Before a new legislation is enacted, this can take various immediate forms from fast trac courts, free legal representation, security of jobs, extension of Whistleblower’s Protection Act 2011 for these women where applicable, etc. Safeguarding women from the vulnerabilities associated with our system will only allow the filth to be contained if not eradicated. And for a mass cleansing of this nature we can only look towards a clean, firm and determined political leadership for direction – Swachh Bharat II !
Satyam, Kingfisher Airlines, United Spirits, Ricoh India, Fortis... the list of companies that have duped minority shareholders is long and worrisome. Is there a way to keep unscrupulous promoters /managements under check?
