  • We had a strong anti-rape bill passed but unfortunately that has not been a deterrent.

  • We should not be partisan about these matters, we must think across party lines.
  • We need to amend the law - there should be a time fixed for hearing and the perpetrators should be given the death penalty.
  • When such incidents take place, police also need to be sensitive, there are often complaints with police action... reforms are needed in the police department too.
  • Appeal to Home Minster to pay heed to suggestions...
  • Chides Deputy Chairman - says please pay attention to cases of atrocities on Scheduled Castes/Tribes.
  • The word Harijan should not be used, that is unconstitutional.
  • Appeal for Home Minister... please call an all-party meeting and if we need to amend the anti-rape bill that should be done in this session of Parliament
