<!– /11440465/Dna_Article_Middle_300x250_BTF –>To say Vishwas Nangre-Patil (above) has one of the largest fan followings compared to all his IPS peers both on social media and otherwise would be an understatement. This IGP (Kolhapur range) has always been known for being progressive and a clean cop. Which is why his patriarchal misogyny at a recent press conference in Miraj, western Maharashtra, came as a shocker.Announcing a crackdown operation against sex workers he wanted to know why they can’t work hard. “They should be rehabilitated to make and sell pickles and papads instead of their bodies,” he advised without getting into circumstances which force women into sex work. And we are not even talking of women who want to do this for a living of their own volition.An activist who has been working on HIV/AIDS awareness in the region for decades said, “Will he be able to match the corporate markets that sell papads and pickles? And we are not even talking about matching a sex worker’s daily income here.” All ears sir for your response. Hopefully you’ll give the patriarchal conservatism a rest…
