Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara's recent remark that "such incidents do happen" in reference to sexual assaults during festive occasions has ignited widespread criticism. His comments, perceived as dismissive, have been met with rebuke from various quarters, including Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, who emphasized the gravity of the situation and the need for serious attention. This incident underscores ongoing concerns about women's safety in Karnataka, especially during public celebrations. Critics argue that such statements from high-ranking officials may contribute to a culture of impunity and deter victims from reporting crimes. The government faces mounting pressure to address these issues more effectively and ensure stringent measures for the protection of women. (PC: Facebook)
