Name anti-rape law after Delhi braveheart: Tharoor

January 01, 2013 19:57

Union Minister Shashi Tharoor may have put his foot in the mouth once again by suggesting that the new anti-rape law, which is under works, can be named after the Delhi braveheart, who succumbed to her injuries after battling for her life for over 12 days.

The minister posted a tweet on Tuesday saying the law should be named in honour of the Delhi braveheart, who was gangraped and assaulted in a moving bus in the national capital on December 16, if her parents do not have any objection to revealing her identity.

Tharoor posted a tweet: "Wondering what interest is served by continuing anonymity of #DelhGangRape victim. Why not name&honour her as a real person w/own identity?"
