BJP seeks special session of Parliament on Delhi gang rape

New Delhi: Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Sushma Swaraj, on Saturday demanded special Parliament session for framing law to give death sentence to those who commit heinous crimes against women.
“I have just spoken to Prime Minister. I requested Prime Minister for a special session of Parliament to frame a law to provide for exemplary punishment for crimes against women,” Swaraj said on social networking site Twitter.

“I have always maintained that rapist(s) should be punished with death sentence. I have also moved a private members Bill for this,” she said.

She said she has already demanded in Lok Sabha on December 18 that rapists be given death sentence.
