Popular TV actress Divyanka Tripathi sent out a series of powerful tweets on Independence Day. Angered by reports of a 12-year-old school girl getting raped on her way to school for an Independence day event in Chandigarh, Divyanka blasted the lack of security provided to women and the general apathy to such sensitive matters.
The actress tagged Prime Minister Narendra Modi in some of the tweets, asking him to do something about the horrible way women are treated in the country. She also expressed how afraid she is of having a daughter in a world where there is absolutely no safety for women.
Why don’t we give gruesome punishments for gruesome crimes? Yet another rape!What independence are we talking about? https://t.co/bw3CpD6hnc

Women must stop voting for any party as they are so unimportant for this nation! It’s a ‘No Woman’s Land’ or a #RapistsParadise we live in!

क्या बेटी बचाओ? अब बेटी को बचाओ।
बेटे की चाहत नहीं,पर अब डरती हूँ बेटी पैदा करने से। क्या कहूँगी,क्यूँ उसे स्वर्ग से नर्क की दहशत में धकेला?— Divyanka T Dahiya (@Divyanka_T) August 16, 2017
“Why is there a ‘Save Daughters’ campaign? I don’t particularly want a son, but I’m now afraid of having a daughter. What will I tell her? Why did I bring her from heaven to this hell?”
For what must we vote? 70 years of independence hasn’t set us free! All parties must WAKE UP NOW! Every woman deserves security! https://t.co/ozvAboOsob

प्रिय @narendramodi जी,#स्वच्छताअभियान के अंतर्गत इस रेपिस्ट नामक कचरे से निजात दिलाइए। घूरे में जी सकते हैं। इन भेड़ियों के डर के साथ नहीं।

“Dear Mr. Narendra Modi, please include such rapists under your Swachh Bharat Abhiyan – Clean India campaign, we can still live in garbage, but we can’t live in the fear of such wolves.”
@narendramodi सर, ऐसी सज़ा गढ़िये इन महिलाभक्षियों के लिए कि औरतों को बुरी नज़र से देखने पर भी इन की रूह कांपे! आप पर भरोसा है, कुछ कीजिए।

“Sir Narendra Modi, please come up with such strong punishment for rapists, that they’re afraid to even look at women with wrong intentions, I have faith in you, please do something.”
We live in fear & criminals live fearlessly! I can teach my daughter great values but in such a scenario can’t promise her a free life! https://t.co/CYN2OK5C3m
