Slamming the Delhi government as well as the Centre for failing to bring down the crime graph in the national capital, the BJP raised the issue of the gang-rape of a girl in Parliament and moved for the suspension of Question Hour in both the Houses.

"This is a serious issue...it is happening frequently. We will raise the issue with full force in Parliament," Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj said outside Parliament a while ago.

Party chief spokesperson Ravishankar Prasad said the decision was taken at the Parliamentary Board meeting held this morning. "Several of our members have moved notice to suspend Question Hour (in both Houses)...they were deeply agitated," he told reporters.

He said women MPs from NDA constituents will stage a dharna inside Parliament House complex tomorrow morning to flag the issue of "Delhi becoming a centre of atrocities on women...there is no palpable action by the police."
