As people's anger over the death of Delhi gangrape victim spilled out into
the streets, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi today broke his silence on the ghastly
incident calling for introspection and resolve to ensure the security and
dignity of women.
"My heart goes out to the family of the young girl and millions of young
Indians, families who work, hope and pray for a better India. We as a nation
must reflect on the events of the days gone by," Rahul said, offering his deep
condolences to the young girl's family.
As citizens, we must resolve to respect the dignity of women and follow the laws
of the land, he said.
"I join my mother and sister in offering deep felt condolences to the young
girl's family, My thoughts and prayers are with the family," Rahul said in his
message.
The girl, who was gang-raped by six men in a moving bus in south Delhi on
December 16, breathed her last in a Singapore hospital early this morning after
battling for life for the past 13 days.
