Former Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan met the family of 10-year-old girl, who was raped and murder, on Monday. Expressing deep concern on the incident, Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that if Kamal Nath government did not take strong steps to contain atrocities against minor girls then BJP will hit the roads to for demonstrations. Chouhan reached Mandwa slum of Kotara area to console the family of victim girl. He told that in the reign of Kamal Nath government, law and order situation has deteriorated to lowest ebb and Government is busy in transfer posting of officers.
Owing to regular transfers, the moral of police officials have also hit the low and this has affected their efficiency. Commenting on Government’s decision to give Rs 5 lakh financial help to victim’s family, he told that it is insufficient. He warned that if Government fails to bring law and order situation under control and in providing security to girls then BJP will do the movement by hitting the roads. Going retrospective, he told that previous BJP government led by him had provisioned capital punishment for rapists of minor girls and even accused have received the capital punishment but owing to some legal hurdles, capital punishment could not be executed. Henceforth, he will send a missive to Chief Justice of India so that rapists should get hanging punishment at earliest.
On this occasion, Leader of Opposition Gopal Bhargava and other BJP leaders and workers were also present. Notably, girl was abducted and raped by a youth in Mandwa slum on Saturday evening. Later, he killed the victim girl.
