The Prime Minister has been deeply disturbed to hear news of the shameful incident in which a 5 year-old child in Delhi was sexually abused and is now fighting for her life in hospital. A press release said, the Prime Minister has also seen news visuals of the completely unacceptable treatment meted out by police officers to some women protesting against this incident. The release said Dr. Singh has spoken to the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi and has conveyed to him the need for the strictest possible action to be taken against the erring officials and called for appropriate medical care for the young victim of the sexual assault. The Prime Minister has once again reiterated the need for society to look deep within and work to root out the evil of rape and other such crimes from our midst.
