Bengal Passes Anti-Rape Bill, Death Penalty for Rapists, BJP Supports | India Today News

The Bengal government has passed the Aparajita Women and Child Bill, which proposes the death penalty for rapists and establishes fast-track courts for rape cases. The bill also includes a three-year jail term for disclosing a victim's identity. The BJP has supported the bill, putting the responsibility on Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for its implementation. Bengal is the first state to amend central laws on rape and crimes against women. The bill was passed amid protests over the rape and murder of a young Kolkata doctor. #bengalantirapebill #aparajitabill #deathpenaltyforrapists #bjpsupports #mamatabanerjee #kolkatadoctorrape

What's the use of such bills on paper when your police don't even file FIR....

[itsme-sqrd]

Law doesn't work when you are a powerful person.

[akashchaurasiya]

यह कानून पास होना चाहिए और पूरे देश में लागू होना चाहिए 🙏🙏

[itsme-sqrd]

Biased laws for innocent men.
Good implementation of normal laws are enough for catching culprits.
But they protect real powerful culprits.

[Nachoilosu]

Every state must pass this bill and enforce with special law to register the case in court without police interference.

Punishment within one month. Decision by fast track court. Bjp is doing politics only. No justice in their states!

Does the bill has any clause for cases of false allegations of rape made against any man? If the man is proven innocent is the same law applicable to the woman? A bill should focus on both ends of the spectrum. Sadly people are being misled by passing this bill without taking into account all the aspects of the problems of the society. People's anger is misled into making a hurried and rushed bill. This is actually hiding the truth that the people in power can get away with any crime.

Edit: I am not doing favoritism to any political party. My concerns are towards the whole political landscape of India.
