Victim Blaming in Chandigarh Case – An Alt News Report
Read the report here : Old, unrelated images used to build a fake narrative and shame the victim of Chandigarh stalking incident
Alt News report says : The strategy adopted here is similar to how a fake video was circulated by the Indian right-wing claiming that Gurmehar Kaur was drinking and having a merry time in a moving car. The idea is to character assassinate a woman by showing that she’s having a merry time as significant sections of the Indian society still look down upon women who drink. The idea is to portray that the woman lacks character and ‘deserves’ what she got.
And this mentality seems to pervade through the rank and file of the party in Haryana. The chief minister of Haryana, Manohar Lal Khattar, in his election campaign had said:
If they want freedom,why dont they just roam naked !
