For some time now, there has been a lot of uproar in the country regarding the misuse of laws related to domestic violence and exploitation against women. Now this issue has been raised in the Parliament. BJP's Rajya Sabha MP Dinesh Sharma has expressed concern over these cases, referring to the suicide of 'Atul Subhash'. MP Dinesh Sharma has raised the demand for necessary legal and emotional support for men who face false allegations in the House. He has demanded strict action against those making false allegations.
Demand to make the law gender neutral
On Friday, during Zero Hour in Rajya Sabha, MP Dinesh Sharma mentioned Atul Subhash's suicide. During this time, he demanded to make the law related to domestic violence and harassment gender neutral. The MP said that the law has made a lot of progress in protecting women from domestic violence and exploitation, but the lack of protection for men from such violence and exploitation is a matter of concern. The MP said that there is not enough legal and emotional support for men facing false allegations. He said that the misuse of Section 85 of BNS is a matter of serious concern.
Demand for action against those making false allegations
BJP MP in Rajya Sabha Dinesh Sharma said, "I request that the law related to domestic violence and harassment should be made gender neutral so that justice can be done to everyone. If even one person loses his life due to the lack of a system, then it is time for us to introspect. Strict action should be taken against those making false allegations so that the fairness and truth of the justice system can be maintained."
Important statistics of suicide came to light
Dinesh Sharma also presented important figures of NCRB in Rajya Sabha on Friday. He said that in the year 2022, 72 percent of the people who committed suicide in India, i.e. a total of 1,25,000, were men while the number of women was around 47,000. Between the years 2014 and 2021, the ratio of suicides of men and women has increased significantly. During this period, 107.5 percent more men cited family problems as the reason for suicide.
