She speaks that BNA will not target her since everybody knows that she was fighting with them. Vinay shoots a video of her where she introduces herself and speaks that we are a population of more than 1 billion and why are we afraid of sex education and why we use sex as the topic which if we speak is regarded as doing the wrong and bad thing. Why it is a Taboo and why not to educate our children ? She speaks that sex is a part of life and we need to educate our children thus they don’t learn it from other means which might be wrong. She uploads the video on Youtube and also spreads the message on social networking sites like Twitter/Facebook. She speaks of being sexually harassed by the same people who were stopping her to teach about morality and also informs the people that the people who molested is from BNA party and the person who molested is Jayant. She urges people to send sex education topics on the social networking sites of Jayant’s party and the url’s are attached to the video post.
Furthermore, she wants people to send a packet of condom and copies of chapters from sex education books at physical address of Jayant’s party offices. She wants the people to send the posts regularly so as to humiliate those men in front of the country and teach a lesson so as to bring a change. She terms the campaign as operation sexed. Jayant at his end watches Harshini’s video and wants to teach a lesson to her. He is being advised by his colleague Anand to not fight Harshini and be silent for some days and thinks that the movement will not affect them. People posts messages on Jayant’s party social networking sites about sex education and also send parcels and boxes with condoms at party offices. Jayant becomes annoyed and angry after receiving it. The local media covers Harshini’s movement and informs that because of increasing pressure Jayant has to close down their social networking sites and at local party office is receiving more than 100 packets of condom every day. She asks the question when the party will take action against Jayant ?
Sooner, Jayant was removed from his party and the media informs that the party has taken a strict action and also informed the people that Jayant’s actions were of his own and he didn’t consulted the party before doing such things. Harshini’s campaign hit the right chord with the people and realized its goals. Jhanvi sends a message to Harshini congratulating about their campaign success.
