Here are the highlights of Rahul Gandhi's candle light march at India Gate:
"This is a matter of the women of India, not a political one": Rahul Gandhi
"We want the government to investigate the matter. Women of India are afraid to walk out of their houses today. Wherever you see women are raped, murdered. We want the government to do something about this. This is a national issue not a political one. This a matter of our women," said Mr Gandhi.
It's a fashion war, people are taking selfies, says BJP leader
BJP leader Vaibhav Agarwal tagged the protest by a Congress as a fashion war and said that the party was politicising the issue. "This is clearly a demonstration to politicise the issue. People are taking selfies for god's sake. It's a fashion war," he said. "There is a process of law. If the agency has been given a case, allow them to have a probe. Why is there so much defence?" he added.
When guard of the country is sleeping, we have to do something about it: Ghulam Nabi Azad
"When the prime minister sleeps, Congress has to do the job of waking him up. Right now, at this point of time, all the governments are sleeping. We had said this before as well, that women and children are in danger in your government," said Ghulam Nabi Azad.
"Sab chalta hai will not do"
Stressing on the fact that the protest was a non-political one, Congress leader Randeep Surjewala said that the "Sab chalta hai" attitude will not do and that the government needs to do something about the situation. "It is a protest to ensure that a government blinded by political power does something about the situation," he said.
