  "account": "Congress leader Rahul Gandhi urged the youth to protest against women harassment and rape, emphasizing that the government only responds under pressure. He criticized the system that blames the victim and shields the criminal, stating that it is time to change this mindset. Gandhi called for safe streets, confronting the mindset of men who mistreat women, and swift punishment of offenders. He urged women to protest peacefully, asserting that the government would only take notice when faced with pressure. The Congress leader also posted a video highlighting that a woman is never responsible for an attack on her or a rape, and that the perpetrator is always the criminal. He criticized the government's response of telling women to stay at home, calling it a wrong and insane reaction that punishes women instead of punishing the criminals.",
  "summary": "\"Stop punishing women for the crimes committed against them. Across our country, women are afraid to walk the streets, afraid of being harassed, afraid of being raped. And the government's answer: stay at home. This is patriarchy at work: a system that blames the victim and shields the criminal. It is time to smash it,\" says Rahul Gandhi",
