Quotes: Q.
What’s your assessment of Ganga Jamuna episode amid police actions and agitation? A.
The logic of ‘public places’ and ‘200 meters’ is very funny here because the place is almost 300 years and is given a sermon by the kings for their forces entertainment.
Public places called have appeared in Ganges Jamuna who knows very well past work and now.
The question is why public places like school, Chowki police and companies like it were founded in the first place to know well it was a red-light area.
It was founded for locals, but is now being held as a premise to thwart their livelihood.
If someone shifts sex workers elsewhere, even the place will turn into a public place in the end.
P.
The police department has taken action only after complaints of illegal activities.
Don’t you support them? A.
If a complete police officer, Chowki is in Ganga Jamuna, then why did the police allow illegal activities to develop at first to some extent, local residents must approach the police commissioner? Let’s underline the fact again that Ganga Jamuna and the profession of practicing in it appeared 300 years ago.
Why did other residents move there to know well in advance that it was a red light area? Now, the locals tried to encourage people out who were there before them.
Q.
What do sex workers want now? Rehabilitation or continuation of Sans Sex Sex Illegality Like children underage and ask? A.
The police wanted to drive us on behalf of rehabilitation and take our property.
Why push the rehabilitation of sex workers when they don’t want it? Let it voluntarily.
We have a house, our livelihoods are in the form of sex work and are able to feed our family and dependents.
Many sex workers are stopped to be in their own trade.
A woman from Ganga Jamuna recently returned to the place of origin bidding Gender Adieu.
We are fine with such voluntary decisions.
Q.
What is the future of agitation by sex workers? A.
It strives for Dal-Chawal for sex workers.
This is a question about existence now.
We fight for our family rights and rights.
We will fight until the end, whatever it is.
‘It’s a battle for Dal-Chawal by Ganga Jamuna Csws’
