Hyderabad veterinarian rape-murder case continues to shock the entire country, the Upper house of Parliament took the issue for discussion. With all the members calling for strict action against the culprits, Rajya Sabha MP Jaya Bachchan said that the rapists need to be brought out in public and lynched.

“I think the people now want the government to give a proper answer, and a very definite answer. These type of people should be brought out in public and lynched,” she said.

“I don’t know how many times I’ve stood and spoken after this kind of crime. I think it is time… whether Nirbhaya or Kathua or what happened in Telangana… I think the people now want the government to give a proper and definite answer,” Jaya Bachchan told the Rajya Sabha. “What has the government done? How have they tackled it? How has justice been done for the victims? I am not taking names… but shouldn’t the security be held responsible? I feel only one day earlier something similar happened in that area in Telangana… why wasn’t this stopped?” she charged against the ruling dispensation.

She added that the security personnel in-charge of the area in Hyderabad where the crime took place be held accountable and questions be asked. “They must be named and shamed,” Bachchan said.

MPs cutting across party lines condemned the recent spurt in crime against women and demanded stringent laws that punishes the guilty within a fixed time-frame.

Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh also condemned the incident. “This act has brought shame to the entire country. It has hurt everyone. The accused must be given the most stringent punishment for their crime,” he said.

The issue was also raised in Lok Sabha with the speaker Om Birla saying that “Desh mein jo ghatnayein ghat rahi hain uspe Sansad bhi chintit hai (The Parliament is worried about the incidents happening in the country). I have given permission for discussion on this after Question Hour”.

On Sunday, the Chief Minister of Telangana, K Chandrashekar Rao instructed the setting up of a fast-track court to hear the case and promised stringent action against the perpetrators.

“The Chief Minister has instructed officials that the accused of the woman veterinary doctor’s ghastly murder should be inquired on a fast track basis and the culprits should be given stringent punishment. The Chief Minister also decided to set up a fast track court to deal with the case,” according to an official release issued from the office of the Telangana CM.
