RECENT INCREASE in honor (called it horror) killings in various states of North India has come as a surprise to ordinary people who are under wrong impression that our society has been moving towards becoming moderate and broadminded. Why the violence against ‘love marriages’ is happening? Question is that where the lovers should go after marriage. However, as every problem has a solution, so a Delhi based organization has come with an idea of helpline.
Good news for lovers is that they will get a helping hand and compassionate voice. This helpline is set up by over 200 people including media personnel, students, engineers, doctors, lawyers and human rights activists. The helpline has the number 9313784375 and is named as "Love Commandos".
The brain child behind this concept Harsh Malhotra says, “It is high time that society should react to the indiscriminate killings at the behest of khap panchayat in northern India. Our country image is damaging on world map due to honour killing and wayward attitude of not only khap panchayat, but also some educated set blindly support them for stakes and vote bank policies. Even government lip services failed to help innocent young lives, despite promises made by leaders. Only option left for people to launch a 24 hours helpline to help youngsters chase their ideas, dreams and practice their choices.
Lovers and couples who are being threatened by their families etc can take help from their helpline number. When Love Commandos' helper receives a call, he or she will immediately contact with lawyer, human right activists and police volunteer force. This helpline will provide legal help, free counseling session to face upcoming challenges. Delhi's best-known judges, lawyers of Supreme Court, media personalities, movie stars are ready to provide free services to the Love Commandos helpline. This group earlier was campaigning to promote Valentine’s Day in the city and spreading love.
Anyone can take help from them but they need to work within strict guidelines of laws. Sending wrong signal, hoax calls and messages just for fun can land anyone in jail too.
I think personally this is very good activity.
