Prime Minister Manmohan Singh spoke atlast on the Delhi rape and asked the youth protesting on the streets to stay calm. Why it took the PM to wait for over a week to speak on such an issue which affects the life of every women in the Capital of India? The speech lacks any kind of concern for the issue. Asking the youth not indulge in violence when it was the police and administration that has unleashed in violence on the hapless protesters.
Yesterday the water cannons were directed at media personnel so that the coverage of the protest can be blocked to an extend. Everything points to one thing - the government is trying everything to silence the people's voice.
My appeal to all protesters in Delhi - Dont give up, till the government comes out with concrete steps to make sure that every citizen feels safe on the streets of Delhi, Every woman can walk fearlessly at any time of the day and No criminal gets away under some vague section of the law.
