The half-hearted decision of the government is very clear from the Ordinance that is issued by it after Justice Verma Commission submitted its report. Verma Commission has clearly pointed out certain decisions that has to be taken by the government with regard to the crimes of sexual assault and connected matters. But many important recommendations have been shelved by the government. All the womens organisations as also Left parties have objected to the present ordinance.
The issue will certainly be raised in the Parliament. The government should come forward to hear the opinions of vaious political parties, womens’ organisations etc. and then pass a strong bill to curb the gender discrimination and sexual assaults.
