There is currently a heated debate going on across the country regarding the new rules/laws of the University Grants Commission (UGC). Meanwhile, Bhojpuri’s famous folk singer Neha Singh Rathore, who is always surrounded by controversies, has once again clarified her stand with a controversial post.
Questioning those who tout the ‘equality’ of the Constitution and democracy, Neha said, “Where was this logic when in actual incidents, injustice was done to the weak? For example, lives were lost in horrific cases based on names like Hariom Valmiki and Akhlaq.”
Sharing her views on social media platform Where was this knowledge when basic human rights were violated with the lower castes of the society?
He said that the Constitution and equality are always cited whenever it becomes a part of any political or social debate, but in real life incidents when atrocities are committed against the weak – such as cases of lynching and extreme humiliation, then why do these ideals lose their voice?
Neha Singh’s anger…
Neha further said that protests and criticism are part of democracy, and the Constitution provides everyone the right to express their views, but “limited logic and double standards” will not solve the problem. He challenged those who speak only by picking up the books of the Constitution, but turn a blind eye to the unfair and cruel practices of real life.
Neha further said that “When people talk about equality of the Constitution but maintain silence when required, when illogical or unconstitutional comments are made, then the question arises where is the real democracy and equality today.” He said that if the purpose of the law is equality and prevention of discrimination, then it should be applied and understood in a rational and realistic manner and not just used for political gain.
Sharp statement on UGC controversy too
At the same time, regarding UGC’s ‘Promotion of Equality in Higher Educational Institutions Rules 2026’, the government and other supporters are claiming that this law has been made to prevent caste discrimination and ensure equal opportunity. Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has also made it clear that there will be no discrimination under this law and it is within the scope of the Constitution.
Let us tell you, despite this, many groups and social workers are protesting against this new law, at some places questions are being raised whether this rule will actually promote equality or create further division in the society. Critics, demanding meaningful debate and logic, say there should be a broader discussion about the impact of the law and not just rely on announcements.
