UN’s official comment on violence against women in India, the Ministry of External Affairs said inappropriate and unnecessary.

Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesman Anurag Shrivastava told the United Nations Resident Coordinator in India, some inappropriate comments have been made by the United Nations Resident Coordinator about some recent cases of violence against women.
The Resident Coordinator of the United Nations in India should be aware of it. The government has taken these matters very seriously.

The constitution guarantees equality for all citizens of India. As a democracy, we have a time-tested record of providing justice to all.
Earlier today, the United Nations in India made a statement regarding alleged sexual harassment cases in Hathras and Balrampur areas of Uttar Pradesh in India.
The United Nations in India said the incident of sexual harassment in Hathras, Balrampur sparked heavy outrage across the nation with a series of intense protests demanding punishment for the accused.
A 19-year-old woman from Hathras died on 29 September at Safdarjung Hospital in Delhi. All four accused in this incident were arrested
The Editors Guild of India has criticized the Yogi Adityanath government, accusing Uttar Pradesh law enforcement agencies of preventing journalists from reporting to and around Hathras.
In a statement, the guild said that not allowing journalists to go to the scene and tapping their conversation over the phone is a hindrance to media work. It demanded the state government create a situation in Hathras that does not hinder journalists’ work.
“We condemn the way Uttar Pradesh’s law enforcement agencies prevented journalists from reporting,” the guild said. Journalists’ tapes were leaked and select portions were leaked. This is unfortunate.
