Speaking on the matter, Rajya Sabha MP Jaya Bachchan said that the people need a government that takes stern action against such incidents.

She said that the convicts in such cases “need to be brought out in the public and lynched”.

AIADMK MP Vijila Sathyananth claimed that the country is no more safe for children and women. She further demanded death for the four accused in the rape and murder of the Hyderabad doctor before December 31. The MP also called for setting up a fast-track court to carry out proceedings in the case and added that “Justice delayed is justice denied”.

Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad in his speech said that no government or leader would want such incidents to in their state. He said that such acts cannot be just eradicated by making laws but that there is a need to stand together against such crimes.

Congress’ Amee Yajnik requested the judiciary, legislative, executive and other systems to come together to see that a social reformation takes place on an emergency basis.

Speaking in the lower house, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh the Hyderabad case has brought shame to the entire country and hurt everyone. He further called for stringent punishment for the accused in the case.

Nalamada Uttam Kumar Reddy, Congress MP in Lok Sabha from Nalgonda, Telangana, claimed that one of the reasons for the incident is the indiscriminate sale of liquor. He also requested a fast-track court to be set up and the accused be hanged till death.
