National Women’s Front calls for a bias-free trial of Seema Patra with a detailed probe
The brutal torture of Sunita is reprehensible. Such inhumane acts by Seema Patra wife of ex-IAS officer and BJP politician are horrific and demand stringent action.
29-year old Sunita a tribal domestic help women spent 8 intolerable years at the Patra household. She was mercilessly beaten with a hot pan, tortured, locked in a room and made to lick her own urine. She was forced hard labour that caused serious injury to body, mental and physical health. Reports found her in an unbearable condition with her teeth broken, where she could neither talk or walk.
Yet with her lively spirit the message she gives is breath-taking, when asked about her next step she replied about her stating to pursue studies when she recovers.
National Women’s Front calls for a bias-free trial of Seema Patra with a detailed probe made.
When Art.14 guarantees equality before law, No citizen shall be denied any facilities and be discriminated on the basis of caste, creed, color under
Art.15.

NWF raises concerns over narrow-minded Education Policies
Cancellation of Safoora’s admission in JMI is an attempt to disrupt her education. Despite three COVID waves, pregnancy, jail term and severe COVID infections in the family, she completed the fieldwork for her M. Phil, but she is being denied admission to submit her thesis. This is totally against the code of conduct of any institution. Similar things happened to our sisters in the south as well. They were prevented from attending the exam due to the hijab controversy. The motive of the forces behind the denial of rights is to deprive us of education. They want to see us as illiterate so that no one would raise their voice against the fascist government.
National Women’s Front condemns this atrocious behaviour of the University. We demand that Safoora be given rightful admission and be allowed to pursue her education.
