Expressing deep concern over the incident of gangrape of a 19-year-old woman in Noida yesterday, the Congress today called on the NDA Government to strengthen the Criminal Justice System and take tangible action to reduce Crime Against Women.
Talking to media here, AICC Spokesperson Khushbu Sunder said, ‘Even as Prime Minister, Narendra Modi was inaugurating the new Metro line in Noida, a 19 year old was gangraped in a moving car, as she was going from Gurgaon to Noida. Earlier, another 20 year old girl was raped by 5 men in Delhi. Repeated incidents of violence against women and continuous rise in crimes in the NCR region is a matter of grave concern.
The BJP heavily politicized the ‘Nirbhaya’ gangrape and talked about providing security to the women is incharge of the same in the Capital, yet Delhi continuous to hold this tag of being the ‘Rape Capital of India’. It is high time the BJP strengthens the Criminal Justice System and take tangible action to reduce Crime Against Women.’
