Various NGOs from the above list have already submitted their memorandums separately in February 2008 on the comments on the review of Domestic Violence Act 2005, and till date NONE of the above NGOs have received the invitation to join the review committee on 25th June 2008.

It is even more surprising then who are these 100 male activists who have been invited in the meeting? An RTI is also being filed to know the credentials of these 100 Male activists, the NGOs to which they belong, the NGOs websites and their memorandums and what have these NGOs done for the male rights till date.

Awaiting an early response from your end as it is already 21st June, 2008 and it take some time for these above NGOs for preparation for the 25th June 2008 Domestic Violence Review Meeting.

Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,

Legal Fighter

Well said, my friend. all these years of crying "foul" by so many affected men & women has been in deaf ears of the authorities. They see only Vote banks. NRIs don't vote obviously. Educated well placed people also don't go for voting bcos of crowd, travel etc. So their pleads are not listened to. May be we should change our plead that " give weapons to the daughter-in-laws and grant them licence-to-kill at will, husband or his mother/father or sister or brother and their children, just anyone" So that the sufferings of them shall finish within minutes rather than years.
