Here is another addition to the on going saga of rapists.  This Congressman in Assam raped a mother of two children.  Even though he was humiliated in open by the local residents, it is not an adequate punishment for such criminals.  Country needs a law which will be applicable and adhered to by all the states of India to eradicate this menace.  Women need equal and full respect in the society.  These type of criminals and even supporters of these criminals should be brought to justice without wasting any more time.  May be special courts need to be established across the country just to hear the rape cases so that they can be disposed of quickly.  As we know, there are so many such cases languishing in the Indian courts which need to be resolved urgently with a severe punishment.  The idea of awarding harsh/severe sentence is to set an example for the future criminals who might be contemplating repeating the same crime.  In the opinion of this writer, no rapist, once proven, should be given less than a life imprisonment without parole.  During the imprisonment, they ought to be required to work hard labor, and this principal needs to be applicable to all such prisoners irrespective of their party affiliation,  gender, caste, creed and a status in the society.  Any recommendation or support from any one for such criminals needs to be highlighted so that the whole country becomes aware of people who have a soft corner in their heart for such crimes.  IT IS THE DEMAND OF TIME THAT THE INDIAN GOVERNMENT TAKES AN  OWNERSHIP OF THIS ISSUE AND DO SOMETHING CONCRETE TO ERADICATE THIS MENACE FROM THE INDIAN TERRITORY.
