BHUBANESWAR:
Following the death of the Delhi
gang-rape victim in a Singapore
hospital, the social organisations and civil bodies along with the students on
Saturday came in different processions demanding justice to the victim and
security for the women in the society. In the evening some women organisations
and student groups hold candle light march to pay homage to the girl.
Women organisations like National
Alliance of Women (Odisha), Women Congress, CPI
(M), All India Democratic Women's Association (AIDWA), Aaina and girl students
of various colleges staged a peace procession condemning the brutal attack on
the victim.
The Civil Society of the city
during the procession demanded exemplary action against the culprits, strengthening
of laws for the security of women, suspension of Delhi Police Commissioner and
the Central Home Secretary for neglecting in duty. The Civil Society also
demanded the resignation of Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Sindhe.
According to a women rights
activist Tapasi Praharaj, the Government should take immediate action to check
the rape incidents which is increasing in 24 per cent rate and the Delhi
incident should not be occurred again in the society. Amendment of law for
taking action against the rapists is need of the hour, she added.
“Time bound justice can solve
many problems, but it is not happening in our country. The police, in some
cases, modify the medical report of the victim to hide the truth of the incident
which is a dangerous trend,” said Praharaj, adding, “This is the time for the
law makers of the country to think about the issue deeply.”
