BJP disapproves of restrictions, questions 'hurried' cremation

December 30, 2012 17:21

Holding that "a nation in shock" is entitled to display its sense of despair, BJP today disapproved of "Emergency-like" restrictions against anti- gangrape protests and renewed its demand for a special Parliament session to adopt strict laws on crime against women.

Expressing "profound condolences" to members of the victim's family and saluting her courage, the party also questioned the "hush hush" manner in which she was cremated. BJP said that a proper debate in Parliament on the issue would "certainly be able to tap upon the serious sense of distress and dismay which is sweeping the country" after the "supreme sacrifice of that young brave daughter" of the country.
