So far, Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati called for strict action to prevent incidents of rapes so that no one dares to commit such a heinous crime. "We need to improve our laws and make them stricter, so that it serves as a deterrent. Not enough to just arrest them, but action should be so strict that no one should dare to act in such a manner," she said.

Congress (TMC) MP Derek O' Brien said ''rape is not a women's issue, it is much beyond. It is about men who stop behaving like human beings and started behaving like animals. This is even worse than animals," he added.

Smriti Irani of the BJP lashed out at the Congress-led UPA Government and pointed fingers at the Delhi Police for not taking apt action in cases linked to the feminine gender.

"Even when a girl is molested in Delhi, the police says ''it''s just a molestation, not a rape''. You (Speaker) are saying ''time up''; time should be up for these criminals, not MPs discussing these issues. In 36 hours, a 23 year old and a six year old have been raped," said Irani. 

"I want to ask the government why we are unable to secure women in our capital? I request the Home Minister not to restrict himself to a statement or sound bite," she added.
