"I am sad that the convicts in the Nirbhaya case are avoiding the execution by their tactics. They should be hanged immediately. We are in dire need to amend our law so that in cases of rape, the hanging is done within six months," he tweeted in Hindi.

  • मुझे दुख है की निर्भया के अपराधी कानून के दाँव पेंच ढूंढ कर फांसी को टाल रहे है। उनको फांसी तुरंत होनी चाहिए। हमे हमारे कानून में संशोधन करने की सख्त जरूरत है ताकि रेप के मामलों में फांसी 6 महीने के अंदर हो।
