Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh is organizing a convention of saints in Ayodhya on 5th June. He had been in Bahraich to oversee preparations of rally. While talking to the media, he said that the POCSO Act is being misused. He claimed that 11 lakh saints and sages will participate in the convention. BJP MP from Kaiserganj in UP, Singh said that this law is being misused against children, elders and saints. Besides, the officers are also victimized by the act.
We will create the pressure on central government, under the leadership of saints, to change the POCSO Act. Congress had brought this law, but its aspects were not taken into consideration.
The country’s top wrestlers have been staging a sit-in protest at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar since April 23, demanding Singh’s arrest. Last month, the Delhi Police filed two cases against Singh, who is also a Bharatiya Janata Party MP. One of the cases pertains to allegations made by an underage girl and has been registered under the POCSO Act. The other case has been filed in connection to allegations made by the adult complainants.
