SAN FRANCISCO – US-based North American Punjabi Association (NAPA) expressed serious concern over the Moga molestation case where a mother-daughter duo was thrown out off a moving bus for resisting molestation on Wednesday.
NAPA executive director Satnam Singh Chahal said the incident triggered anguish across the global Punjabi Diaspora and it is very unfortunate that an incident like this occurred on the land of our Gurus and Saints. He also alleged that the law and order situation has collapsed in Punjab.
Questioning why different yardsticks were being adopted in this case, he said, when officials of Uber taxi service could be questioned in connection with the alleged rape in their cab by a driver, why can’t the owners of Orbit Aviation be interrogated?
“A fast track court should be formed to punish those who are responsible for this and deliver justice to the victim’s family,” said Chahal. He also slammed the politicians who said that Uber rape case in Delhi was different from Moga, and any facility could not be stopped after such an incident.
Other than speedy justice, Chahal also advocated exemplary punishment for the accused in cases like molestation on a moving bus.
