S. Gurmeet Singh Seerah, HR Manager of Kashmir Group of Companies said “I think having a special day for women is just an excuse for all the so-called women’s activists and feminists to conduct seminars and make speeches airing their useless views. What have they really achieved? Dowry deaths, female infanticide, domestic violence, illiteracy all these things are still happening. We need to change our point of view our thinking then we can see changes.
CEO Ms. Deepti Batra said that it is meaningless to fix one day of the year as Women’s Day as women all over the world are in a continuous battle within the society. Each and every day should be celebrated as woman’s day.
