A local Shiv Sena leader has stirred controversy by advocating for women to be allowed to carry revolvers for self-protection. This statement has sparked a heated debate, with supporters claiming it empowers women in a society plagued by violence and harassment. Critics, however, argue that arming women could lead to increased violence rather than safety. The discussion reflects broader concerns about women’s safety in India and highlights the ongoing struggle to find effective measures for protecting women’s rights and well-being. The opposition calls for focusing on improving law enforcement and creating safer public spaces instead of arming citizens.
