When will rape victims get justice? Rahul Gandhi asks PM Modi

Modi on Friday said: "I want to assure the nation that no criminal will be spared and justice will be done. We all have to come together to stop these criminal acts happening in our society."

Attacking the PM, Rahul tweeted, "Dear Prime Minister, Thank you for breaking your long silence. You said “our daughters will get justice”. India wants to know: when?"

Speaking at the inauguration of a memorial for Dr. B.R. Ambedkar at Delhi’s Alipur Road a day ago, Modi said, "The kind of incidents we have witnessed in last few days are not desirable in any civilized society. The incidents that have been in discussion for the last two days are shameful."

This comes on the same day when Congress President Rahul Gandhi questioned the 'silence' of Modi in the two alleged rape incidents in Kathua and Unnao.

The incidents have left the nation shocked.

Asifa, the minor, was held captive by the accused at a temple and later she was raped, mutilated and murdered in Rassana village of Kathua months ago, crime branch of Jammu and Kashmir police stated.

However, several lawyers had stopped the police from registering cases against the accused in the case.

After six hours of ruckus, police could file the charge-sheets.

In another case, BJP lawmaker Kuldeep Singh Sengar has been arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for allegedly raping a minor girl in Unnao town of the state.
