Sonia assures flat, job to family of Delhi gang rape victim

Ballia: A day after the government brought an ordinance for providing tough punishment to rapists, Congress president Sonia Gandhi and vice president Rahul Gandhi met family members of the Delhi gang rape victim at their residence on Saturday evening. Sonia assured them a flat in Dwarka and a job to one the family member during her meet.

The Congress leaders visited their residence after the father of the girl had two days ago sought a meeting with Sonia to press for quick action on Justice Verma Committee recommendations on a law with focus on crimes against women.

The 23-year-old paramedic student was gang-raped and brutally assaulted on December 16 last year. She succumbed to her injuries later in a Singapore hospital.

Sources said there was no demand from the family members who thanked the two leaders for government’s decision to promulgate the ordinance.
Congress spokesperson Renuka Chowdhary and Mahabal Mishra, party MP who represents west Delhi, were also present during the 70-minute meeting.
