West Bengal Commission for Protection of Child Rights had filed a PIL against a programme being organised by" Arogya Bharati", the medical wing of the RSS in Bhowanipore on May 6 nad 7. The matter was mentioned in the court of Honourable Chief Justice of Calcutta High Court Nishita Mhatre on Thursday. The PIL is against the most unscientific, regressive "Garbh Samskar" mela which is proposed to be conducted in Kolkata to have 'designer babies'.
The mela is propagating the dream of having good looking, male, achiever babies through obsolete ancient Hindu rituals. WBCPCR strongly feels that this kind of unscientific, regressive, discriminatory programme not only violates the rights of a child but is also unconstitutional and illegal according to the PNDT Act. The Honourable Court has accepted the case responding to the urgency and gravity of the
matter. The case will be heard on Friday May 5.
