The brutalisation of a young girl in a bus
in Delhi by 6 barbarians has brutalised the minds and conscience of all except
our ‘leaders’ ostensibly the law makers and the police who are ostensibly the
law upholders.
If the Government wants to show they are
mean business they should suspend all those MPs and MLAs who have cases of rape
or sexual assault cases pending against them.

The second step towards changing of the
mindset of the people, as our legal luminaries Mr.Ram Jethmalani and Mr.Soli
Sorabjee have suggested, is to set time frames for settling the sexual assault,
female foeticide cases and conviction of the guilty. Justice delayed is justice
denied.
The third step is the strict implemetation
of the existing laws and maybe tweaking them a bit to make sexual assault a non
bailable offence. Passing new laws would not change anything except make those
in power pat themselves on their back and go back to their scams.
The last but not the least is to erect a
statue in memory of all those unkown victims of sexual assault at the site of
the tragedy as a constant visual reminder of the horrors that the Indian female
has had to suffer.
