The recent allegations of sexual abuse by Prajwal Revanna, MP of Hassan constituency in Karnataka, have sparked outrage and concern across the nation. While it is imperative to condemn such heinous acts, it is equally important to ensure that all perpetrators of sexual violence face severe consequences, irrespective of their political affiliations or social status.

The Case of Prajwal Revanna

Prajwal Revanna, grandson of former Prime Minister Devegowda, has been accused of sexually abusing thousands of women. A pen drive containing 2976 sex clips allegedly belonging to Revanna has been in the hands of investigators, and hundreds of these videos have gone viral on social media. Despite these disturbing allegations, Revanna has not been arrested or charged with any crime.

It is alarming to note that the response to the allegations against Revanna has been muted compared to other cases of sexual abuse that have received widespread attention. This selective outrage suggests that some victims of sexual violence are deemed more deserving of sympathy and justice than others.

Equal Justice for All

Sexual abuse is a heinous crime that should be condemned and punished severely, regardless of the perpetrator's identity or political affiliation. Every victim of sexual violence deserves justice, and the outrage against such acts should be consistent and unwavering.

The Role of the National Women's Commission

The National Women's Commission has a mandate to protect and promote the rights of women. It is deeply concerning that the Commission has remained silent on the allegations against Revanna, despite its vocal stance against sexual abuse in other cases. This selective approach undermines the Commission's credibility and sends a dangerous message that some victims of sexual violence are less deserving of protection.

Culprits of sexual abuse must face severe punishment. This includes thorough investigations, swift trials, and appropriate sentencing. The punishment should serve as a deterrent to others and send a clear message that sexual violence will not be tolerated.

The allegations against Prajwal Revanna are a stark reminder that sexual abuse is a pervasive problem that affects women from all walks of life. It is essential that we demand equal justice for all victims of sexual violence, regardless of the perpetrator's identity or political affiliations. The selective outrage and muted response to the allegations against Revanna are unacceptable and undermine the fight against sexual abuse. We must hold all perpetrators accountable and ensure that they face the full consequences of their actions.

Yet, this pattern has also opened doors for comebacks in subsequent elections. This article delves into this phenomenon and assesses the potential for Anant Geete, a former Union Minister from Raigad, to mount a political resurgence. The Kolaba Equation In the Kolaba Lok Sabha constituency, an intriguing trend has emerged where candidates who assume Union Minister roles often face defeat in later Lok Sabha contests.
