New Delhi, Dec 16 (TIWN): To mark the tenth year of Nirbhaya's brutal gang-rape in 2012, the Delhi Women Commission (DCW) has urged Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla and Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar to suspend day's business and ensure a detailed discussion on women's safety and security in both Houses of Parliament.
"As you may be aware, today is the tenth anniversary of Nirbhaya. She was gang-raped brutally in December 2012 and was subjected to the most horrific atrocities by the rapists. The incident shook the conscience of the country which witnessed unprecedented protests that ultimately led to several legal reforms," the DCW said in a letter addressed to the Lok Sabha Speaker and Rajya Sabha Chairman.
