They won't plead, they won't beg anymore. Today it is a clear demand for security that they have been denied for several years. The brutal rape of a 23 year old in the National Capital wounding an entire nation but for the Government it barely seems to matter. The Union Home Secretary calling the Delhi Police action 'outstanding' 9 times in his address today, even when the High Court has pulled up the police force in the gangrape case.
