Pacify students' anger with prompt action against rapists

The anger of the students and their demand is justified and they need to be pacified by the Government of India with prompt and appropriate action against rapists. The entire nation is shocked, shaken and outraged over the gang rape of 23 year old girl. She is paramedic student. She was gang raped and brutally beaten along with her boy friend and thrown on the side of the street from in moving bus in South Delhi area. Whoever has heard about the horrendous rape is extremely angry. The scene of scuffle between the hundreds of protesting students, who had arrived at India Gate and on Raisina Hills to express their anger over the horrendous incident of rape and brutal beating of the girl, and the Delhi police is itself by no measure appreciating. Delhi police has used excess of force against the peaceful protesters of young students and women. The gathering of angry and protesting boys and girls against the horrific rape incident was lathicharged, tear gassed and firing of water canon by the police to disperse them is their excesses. Some lumpen elements got mixed up with the students protest to sabotage the government establishment. All the rape accused have been caught. All government assistance is provided to the victim of horrendous rape who is battling for life at Safdarganj hospital. No one in the country will tolerate any excuse from the Delhi police and the Government in not taking strictest action possible against the rapists. Government must know that young boys and girls are on boil and their fire against the rape incident can not be easily extinguished. Delhi police and the Government of India need to be judicious in dealing with the issue related to the young and growing students of the nation. Some lumpen elements might have entered the students’ protests at India Gate and Raisina Hills with some ulterior motive against the government but that does not mean that the police should resort to indiscriminate lath charge, fire of tear gas and water cannons on the peaceful protesters. At least 150 people, including 78 policemen, were injured and a constable suffered cardiac arrest and was battling for life in hospital as street protests over the gang rape of a 23-year-old woman on board a bus a week ago turned violent in the heart of New Delhi on Sunday. There is no sense in sealing all the roads leading to Rajpath and India Gate. The sealing of roads has caused enormous inconvenience to general public. The normal life has been thrown out of gear on Monday in national capital Delhi. Delhi Metro closed its nine stations on Monday without taking into account the difficulty its decision caused to office goers and general Delhiites. The need of the hour for the government to restore normalcy without any delay.
