action, action,action: what should protesters demand from government for zero tolerance for crime against women

WHY SHOULD NOT GOVERNMENT PROMISE: A) fast track inquiry against all MPs and MLAs against whom molestation or even worse charges exist, b) immediately take up a review of police reforms so that police can do what it is suppsoed to do, c) withdraw all unnecessary security from Ministers and others and report all cases to Parliament where politicians force police to free criminals after booking them for various offences including the ones against women, d) ensure that all cases of rape which have been pending for follow up are put on national register of crimes against women and their progress is reported to nation regularly, e) instead of pushing for death sentence for rapist, castration and life imprisonment might be much more deterrent, f) the cases closed due to political influence such as Ruchika’s case must be reopened and re-investigated, the cases in north -east or eastern india or elsewhere against dalit women must be pursued more vigorously and g) the current protests in delhi should be used to achieve an all party consensus in a special session of parliament on fast track police reform, re-orientation about female security, and mount a major offensive against eve-teasing and declare zero tolerance for crime against women.
