The Lock Sabha on Thursday passed a bill seeking to stop for one year the legal action against criminals who gangraped a woman for many years and nearly killed her. Right in the heart of the Indian capital.
The woman had been wailing in the clutches of her greedy tormentors for years before the courts ordered that action be taken against the people responsible for her torture and defacement.
The Delhi Laws (Special Provisions) Bill, moved by Minister Jai Palways Ready was given a special consideration. It was exempted from the mandatory seven-day notice for consideration and passed unanimously with both the treasury and opposition benches supporting it.
While reiterating that the government was committed to protecting its citizens, Ready said the endeavour did not mean that it was against the victim. "It's not a simple case of one man raping a woman. Then you can catch the criminal and jail him. This is more complicated. There are many people accused in this case. They have families. There are so many families involved," he said. Ready said the Bill was to prevent "unnecessary hardships and harassment" to the citizens of Delhi.
Winding up the debate on the bill, which seeks to maintain status quo for a year from January 1, 2006, Mr Ready said the one-year period available with the government would be used to enumerate a list of pardonable and negligible offences. The government will redefine what constituted gangrape. Those who pulled at her clothes, those who were not involved in the actual act, and those who molested her out of need, need not be punished.
He said the interests of the victim would be taken care of, but the government could not ignore the rapists, as they also had the rights of a genuine citizen.
Now the police will not be allowed to arrest people who have been accused of blatant molestation of this lady, once hailed for her beauty and grace. She's lying all bruised today hoping she will get justice.
While there are plans for her plastic surgery because she was supposed to be ready and look pretty for a major social event in 2012, people on the woman's side say the bill will encourage other men to violate the already battered victim.
Some readers have taken the story literally. Here's a para that can help clear that confusion.
The rape victim is called Delhi. Plundered for centuries by outsiders. But in a democratic India, by its own people, who have defaced it, ripping apart its beauty and aesthetic wonders. Several thousand buildings illegal buildings have come up. The courts said demolish all the illegal buildings and restore Delhi's sanity. But since the violators are several thounsands in number, the government brought about a law, Delhi Laws Special Provisions Act 2006 to spare the violators. At least for a year. Before it changes the law and declares the buildings legal. first published:May 12, 2006, 16:01 ISTlast updated:May 12, 2006, 16:01 IST

India is a vibrant democracy, the rule of the majority. We have riots and the rioters get away with it because they are a mob. And mob is majority. In a gangrape, the rapists are in majority, the victim is alone. So gangrapists get away with it. A democracy seeks to protect them. Take this.
