Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde today said that he has written letters to all political parties asking them to send their suggestions on laws relating to crimes against women to the Justice JS Verma Committee. Talking to reporters in New Delhi, Mr Shinde, however, refused to comment on the opposition's demand for an all-party meeting to discuss the issue.

AIR correspondent reports, Finance Minister P. Chidambaram had on Monday dismissed the BJP's demand to convene a special session of Parliament to pass stringent laws on crimes against women.
