The issue of women empowerment has been a central one to all parties
and a prominent part of the manifesto and campaigns. While most
parties are paying lip service and one observes a difference in the
spoken word and actions, very few sincere and kind hearted candidates
have a true closeness to the cause.
Rizwan Arshad the young congressman fighting his first lok sabha
election from Bangalore Central Constituency is an ideal example of
the empathy and understanding developed for the cause of women. His
clear stand in support of women issues has been well demonstrated.
While opposition views porn at legislature in session, he has been
protesting on streets making his stand clear on unacceptable behavior
and condemning them unequivocally. He has been responsible for many
candle light protest march against oppression of women. He has gained
many women supporters for not just his political activism to seek
their rights but by his very conduct with them gaining him huge
following, trust and respect amongst women of all cadre.
The opposition has many loopholes to fill in what they suggest and
what they do. Many known personalities of the BJP party have been
charged with heinous crimes like RAPE. The anger in women especially
the young college goer has reached a level of intolerance and as a
youth congress president and emerging national leader his support and
views are in line with a far sighted policy of gender equality, equal
rights in property, safety and mobility of women in the city and above
all in empowering women to be responsible and contributing
individuals in a society
