…against marriage.

Amita, a Class VII student, now heads a band of girls, scampering around, getting signatures for a petition against child marriages.

Some of the young rebels motivated other minors to resist the wedding plans made by their parents on teej.

In a unique initiative, the girls have formed a “Kishori Vahini” and are visiting villages, urging their ?sisters? to reject marriage proposals. They have also collected over 1,000 ?oath papers? from minor girls saying they would not marry till they are 18. The oath papers are authenticated by the area sub-divisional magistrates and prominently displayed in their ?drawing rooms?.

“Kill, kill, kill!!” says Uma Bharti

True, that’s all she ever says anyway. It is not
known
whether she added a “Muhahaha” for effect.

“I have to work like Arjuna. I cannot see who is my own or who is on the other side - I will only kill,” announced the former Madhya Pradesh chief minister dramatically.

The glam girl of the religious right revealed that her inner child is nine years old, and will be extruded forth to be dispatched to the mountains. The outer shell is the “mature politician” who has other fish to fry.

“I don’t want to harm my family, but when the family becomes big, everyone has to be accommodated. Otherwise there will be problems.” …

… “Arjuna had to use weapons against his own family members,” she said. “I had not asked for any post, only some work, but I was told that there is no work for me. I was kept away from the garden, which I nurtured with my sweat and toil.”

Never keep a politician away from the garden.
