PATRAN(PATIALA): The digging for the recovery of more female foetuses in Patran in Patiala district of Punjab continued on Friday following female foeticide racket unearthed by Patiala civil surgeon Dr.V.S.Mohi. Several foetuses were recovered today,said sources.
The doctor couple [had] conducted hundereds of female foeticides...
Now what am I supposed to say after this?Do I even have the right to speak?If I had been strangled off to death even before I was born like these girls, then would I have been writing this blog?The thought sends more than shivers down not only my spine but my entire skeletal system.
According to this report around 50 foetuses were found in the well and that too near a nursing home,whereby,it is more than evident that after the sex-determination tests were conducted,these little girls,or should I just say lives...these lives were terminated even before they could have embarked upon the voyage of life.
Again this seems to me a gross violation of humanity and obviously it leaves me utterly at a loss to comprehend why would any doctor,taking the Hippocratic oath or for that matter any parent willingly destroy a budding life,how can one be so inhuman?
There can be just one answer...in all those strangled lives and throttled voices, in all those swollen and moist eyes, in all those lies told to uphold the family honour and in all those silences that tell tales of oppression and violent subjugation...we encounter just one answer...patriarchy.
