Moga : The Punjab Mahila Congress organised a rally to commemorate the first death anniversary of Nirbhaya, a medical student who was gang-raped in a moving bus in Delhi and later died, here on Monday.
Punjab Mahila Congress President Dr Malti Thapar paid homage to the girl and said the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) Government had brought stringent laws to punish criminals who outraged the modesty of women.
Stressing upon the need to educate people on the women’s rights, she said crimes against women could be curbed only by imparting moral education to children. “Atrocities against women are rising in Punjab for the past few years. Politically influential people, who have no respect for women, are involved in heinous crimes and they must get exemplary punishment,” Thapar said.
