Sharmila Thackeray praised the police who conducted the encounter
Leaders of opposition parties are constantly raising questions on the encounter of Akshay Shinde, accused of sexual exploitation of girls in Badlapur school. Today the Bombay High Court also made a strong comment on such encounters. The court has expressed doubt on the encounter. But on the other hand some people are justifying the encounter. MNS chief Raj Thackeray’s wife Sharmila Thackeray has also termed this encounter as women’s rights. During the press conference, Sharmila Thackeray said that she is not a saint, such criminals should be faced.
Raj Thackeray’s wife Sharmila Thackeray also said that being a woman, she felt proud of the encounter. The policemen killed by Akshay Shinde’s bullet should be commended. He said that such encounters should be held to create a sense of security among women.
I am also worried about my daughter
Sharmila Thackeray said that today I met the injured police officer Nilesh More in the Akshay Shinde encounter. Sharmila Thackeray talking to the media after this said that I am not speaking on behalf of any political party or as Raj Thackeray’s wife. I am speaking as a common woman. I myself have a daughter. I am also concerned about his safety. Sharmila Thackeray said – I am saying this as a representative of women.
No sympathy for the criminal
Sharmila Thackeray said that the safety of women is a matter of concern today. Every day we read in the newspaper that violent crimes are committed against women. After being raped, she is brutally murdered. What the politicians say, what the opposition says, what the court says… I have no idea about this. As a woman I have no sympathy for those who commit such crimes. The police who conducted the encounter should be commended.
The law needs to be made more stringent
On the questions of Akshay Shinde’s family, Sharmila Thackeray said- Ujjwal Nikamji rightly said that the longer the case goes on in the court, the more women feel insecure. In the Delhi Nirbhaya case, the accused have been sentenced to death after 6 years. Such a criminal was given the right to life for 6 years. Sharmila Thackeray said that we want a strong law for women which will give swift punishment to the culprit.
