This is why they need Women Battalions for the BSF… for gender sensitive security duties (NOT PROSTITUTION).

Below is a report of the official protest being made by the Indian Govt regarding the prostitution story.

In the past centuries there were camp followers (families, sex workers, general public) who used to be part of marching armies. This happened all over the world. Almost all the way upto the Second world war where the Japanese notably forceably recruited chinese and korean women as “comfort” for combat soldiers.

I cannot imagine any such official “use” of women in todays procedure ridden and somewhat gender equal Security forces of most countries. In India the Army is not a kingdom onto itself. There is atleast some minimum public and state scrutiny. I do not belive the Pakistani Daily Mail reports. The article was so poorly written and researched that a photograph of NCC cadets … who have no relationship with security forces… was used. Obviously, it is not the work of a responsible and serious journalist.

CM ..read it…Your brain may be enlightened.
