Delhi gang-rape: Protests held across capital
December 19, 2012  15:00
Demonstrations were held at various places in the capital, including near CM's residence and police headquarters, to protest against the gangrape of a para medical student and the government's failure to curb the rising number of such crimes against women.

Demanding stern action against the six accused, scores of protesters associated with All India Students' Association (AISA), All India Democratic Womens' Association (AIDWA) and other organisations staged protest in front of the residence of Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit and police headquarters.

BJP's Delhi unit also staged protests at Jantar Mantar. Protesters criticised the government for its failure to ensure a safe environment for women in the national capital.

"If we are not safe in our national capital, then where can we? Government is just playing the game of passing the buck and shying away from its responsibility. Delhi CM is saying law and order is under Home Ministry and they are saying its the responsibility of the state. How long such things will go on?" one of the protesters asked.
