Respected PM,
I know social media makes communication and reaching out to you easier but at the same time there are lot of people and important issues to listen to. Still I am writing with a hope that it would reach you one day. I for a fact know that you and your government have no tolerance policy in case of rape. These days there has been a lot of disappointment in the country. The recent events have shook the country and people are acting out. As usual blaming the government, for not acting/answering, not realising that this is a legal issue and there are laws that needs to be changed/amended. As a citizen of this country who is shattered by the recent events. I would just request this government to play their part in passing a bill to amend the IPC(Indian penal code) in such cases, because the punishment for such Henious crime should be stringent. There are many countries who have strict laws for rape cases, why not take a page from their books. I know sir that there is a procedure and it takes time. But this is necessary at this day and hour to change these laws. People will feel justice is delivered only when they see some action taken. Just condemning the incidence and talking about zero tolerance is not going to help. We as a country have had enough of this inhumanity. This is my honest opinion, straight from heart. If u fell that this change is necessary please work on it. Take the extra effort the prior governments couldn't. Please sir it's the need of the hour. Corporal punishment or equivalent punishment for rapists. A humble and honest request.
