The Karnataka government did it recently - according to the High Court at least. Now the MP government. Look at this report in Deccan Herald. A government worker's hands are cut off as she is carrying out the state government's campaign to stop child marriages. The government lies first and then backtracks:
And the Chief Minister, what does he say?
..the Madhya Pradesh government has, belatedly, admitted that both the hands of the woman official were chopped off because she tried to stop child marriages. Earlier, the government sought to underplay the incident, saying it was the result of “personal enmity”.Why so inhuman?
And the Chief Minister, what does he say?
Mr Gaur had reportedly remarked: “When even Mahatma Gandhi could not stop child marriages, how could she do it”.'Reportedly' - maybe politics has crept in and he did not say it at all. But if he did, then why did he not just shut down the special campaign to stop child marriages?
