Madhya Pradesh Women’s Commission chairperson Shobha Oza on Thursday slammed the state government’s decision to provide financial assistance to women suffering disability due to domestic violence, citing that it was “impractical” and “added salt to the injury of victims”.
The Madhya Pradesh cabinet had on Tuesday approved a scheme for providing financial assistance to women who have become handicapped due to domestic violence. “The Shivraj Singh Chouhan-led government’s decision to provide financial assistance to women who turned divyaang [disabled] due to domestic violence, despite having empty coffers, is nothing but a jumla [false promise],” Oza said in a statement.
