Shillong, January 12: The BJP Meghalaya condemns and denounces the recent spurt of crimes against women & minors in the strongest of words.
In the press statement issued today said that “We also demand the immediate setting up of Fast Track Courts for speedy trial and conviction of the accused. These courts were to have been set up three years ago in the aftermath of the Nirbhaya outrage”.
The complacency of the state government with regard to alarming rise of crimes against women is an indicator of its indifferent attitude towards safety of women and minors. Had these fast track courts been operational, some convictions would have definitely taken place under the already stringent laws like POSCO deterring the animal instincts of the evil minds who have recently been indulging in such dastardly acts, thus preventing at least some of them.
If the state government led by Shri. Mukul Sangma fails to act in setting up of the fast Track courts and also removal of H.D.R Lyngdoh from the cabinet, the BJP shall take this apathy of the state Government strongly to the people.
