Mysuru: The Women India Movement (WIM), Karnataka unit, has strongly condemned the Central and State Governments’ new policies in hiking the prices of cooking gas, fuel and electricity on Thursday April 21.
Addressing the gathering, WIM State Vice President Sabira Begum said, “the price of petrol has risen by Rs. 10 per litre in the last two weeks. In addition, the cost of LPG cylinder and essential commodities is skyrocketing and women are the direct victims of this. This proves the anti-women attitude of the government,”
Further, she said If this continues, the situation for women in Karnataka, which is stands second women’s malnutrition, will worsen. “Life is going to be insurmountable. This shows the corruption in the State. The administration system has deteriorated. But the Government doesn’t seem to care about this. Instead, the riots were instigated by a racist argument. The Government should immediately control prices.”
