**New Delhi, October 11, 2024:** Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal has taken to social media to express her disappointment with modern leadership, drawing a stark contrast between their actions and the ideals embodied by Lord Rama.
In a post on X, Maliwal highlighted the sacrifice and respect for women demonstrated by Lord Rama, who left his palace and spent 14 years in exile fighting for women’s dignity, even against powerful rivals like Ravana. She then contrasted this with contemporary leaders whom she accuses of moving from one luxurious palace to another, seeking wealth and power, and forgetting their ideals in pursuit of material gain.
Maliwal specifically criticized the tendency for modern leaders to protect those who assault women, finding solace in such acts, rather than upholding the values of justice and respect.
The MP’s poignant post, concluding with a simple “Hey Ram!”, serves as a call for today’s leaders to emulate the legacy of Lord Rama, prioritizing the protection and empowerment of women and living by the principles of integrity and sacrifice.
