The Jan Swasthya Abhiyan (JSA) expresses deep shock at the murder of Zafar Hussain, a 55 year old social worker of Pratapgarh in Rajasthan <http://www.rajasthan.gov.in/>. Zafar Hussain was publicly lynched in a frenzy by Municipal employees linked to the government’s ‘Swachh Bharat Abhiyan <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swachh_Bharat_Abhiyan>’ (SBA), led according to Press reports by Nagar Parishad <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagar_parishad> Commissioner Ashok Jain. Zafar Hussain's only crime was that he objected to the photographing of women defecating <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defecation> in the open. Those being photographed included the victim’s wife and 14 year old daughter. Reports suggest that a massive cover up of the incident is being attempted and the perpetrators are yet to be apprehended.
Zafar had in the past submitted a memorandum against the harassment of women by civic officials, which included bullying and shaming of women blamed of defecating in the open, taking their pictures, running after women, taking away their water mugs and abusing them while they defecated. *Vigilantism <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vigilante> is rampant in the SBA* http://www.kractivist.org/jsa-demands-an-end-to-vigilantism-in-the-name-of-the-swachh-bharat-abhiyan/ -- Kamayani Bali Mahabal +919820749204 skype-lawyercumactivist Hey folks, coined this term ” Kracktivism “, check out my blog *http://www.kractivist.org/kracktivism-2/ <http://www.kractivist.org/kracktivism-2/>* Blog for Political prisoners https://indiapoliticalprisoners.wordpress.com Blog for Girl child- http://fassmumbai.wordpress.com/ Blog for Kashmir -http://kashmirsolidaritymumbai.wordpress.com/ https://twitter.com/#!/Kracktivist https://www.facebook.com/kamayani *I carry a torch in one hand And a bucket of water in the other: With these things I am going to set fire to Heaven And put out the flames of Hell So that voyagers to God can rip the veils And see the real goal.......
