The world is full of people and people have opinions. While
many of us are all praise for UP’s new Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, many of
us are critical of his strong decision making. Last week came another powerful
decision by the government of setting an "Anti-Romeo squad" (a team of about 30
police officers) in the interest of safeguarding women. But guess things didn’t
turn out well when the squad shaved the head of a guy in the presence of
policemen who had caught him with a female friend in a public park in
Shahjahanpur.
What’s worse is that this incident occurred in the presence
of police officers. Prima facie say that the three constables namely Suhail Ahmed,
Laiek Ahmed and Sonu Pal were being mute spectators and did nothing to stop the
officers of the squad to stop shaving the head of the victim.
This does not end here – some men were even made to sqat in
public and some were questioned why they are roaming in public with a female
friend. Now the question that looms large in our face is – does the UP
government went too far by moral policing? Or this crackdown on roadside romeos
is just the need of the hour to protect women? Well, as they say, with great power comes
great responsibility, and the newly elected government must ensure that the officers
don’t harass the couples and target only the eve-teasers.
What’s your take on it? We would love to read your suggestions
