The father of the Delhi gangrape victim has now asked the Centre to name the proposed new anti-rape law after his daughter. He said that this will be an honour for his daughter and also a sign of respect to public sentiments.
The father told a news agency in Ballia on Thursday, “We will be upset if the anti-rape law is not named after my daughter. It will be recognition of her fight against the incident and if there is any problem in doing so due to constitutional provisions, the government can easily amend the rules. The people of this country also want this.”
The father further said that he was satisfied with the action taken by the Delhi police so far but wanted speedy justice for his daughter.
He also urged the UP government to set up a hospital in his village in Ballia district named after his daughter since it was her wish to do so.
It may be recalled that on Wednesday, BSP president Mayawati had supported the idea of naming the anti-rape law after the Delhi victim.
“If the family of the victim has given its approval to the law being named after the rape victim I have no objection to it. The Central government should convene an all-party meeting and take a decision in consensus with everyone,” she had said.
