Shame……..Nothing much seems to be changed so
far despite the massive protest by the people across the nation against the
brutal gang rape of a 23 year old girl in Delhi last year. A five year old girl
was brutally raped.. a young girl slapped by the ACP inside the hospital when she
was protesting against the brutal rape of a five-year-old girl. This is not at
all, the chairperson of the national women commission Mamta Sharma could not find time to meet the victim girl
today due to holiday. However later the ACP was placed under
suspension. But such incidents are showing
that there is urgent need of the police reforms, the police officials should
know how to deal with the public when they are fighting for the genuine cause.
Besides it, the chairperson of women
commission has to act in a responsible manner. The commission chairperson
should not be politically appointee however there has to be certain criteria so
that the persons holding such important post’s should act fast. As mostly the
chairpersons of the various commissions are considered to be political posts. There
were series of recommendation by the Justice
Verma Committee for reforms and stringent laws to deal with such cases. Later this March Parliament
had approved on this March a tougher new law to punish sex crimes, including
death for repeat rape offenders. The anti rape law is seen as a crucial step
towards curbing rising cases of violence against women. However the much needs
to be done to change the mindset of the people who are committing crime, police
officials, judiciary advocates and also journalists dealing with such cases.
