Kolkata: Rashtriya
Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav Friday while demanding
death punishment for the perpetrators of the Delhi gang-rape and
murder, mentioned the name of the victim.
"I went to meet the family of the victim in Ballia (Uttar Pradesh)
and the father related how the young girl was subjected to
barbarism. He revealed his daughter's name to me," said Lalu
before mentioning the name of the victim to the audience.
"So long as a rape victim is alive you cannot mention her name,
but in this case she is no more," added Prasad while addressing an
interactive programme on women's empowerment organised by the
FICCI Ladies Organisation here.
Union Law Minister Ashwani Kumar this month had opined that the
law was not in favour of revealing the identity of the victim.
Citing examples of Arab countries where criminals are stoned to
death, Lalu Prasad demanded the culprits should be hanged and
called for stronger laws and stringent punishment for rape and
other crimes against women.
"Our party has always been advocating for punishment for rapists
and in the next session of parliament we will put pressure on the
government to amend the respective laws and provide death for
rape," he said.
"If Raavan can be killed for abducting Sita, then why can't these
inhumans be hanged. Unless there are stringent punishment we
cannot prevent crime against women," Lalu Prasad said.
He also called for stirring up a nationwide mass movement to make
the people aware about women rights.
A 23-year-old trainee physiotherapist was brutally raped by six
men in a moving bus in south Delhi Dec 16. She died Dec 29 in a
Singapore hospital where she was airlifted for specialised
treatment.
