PNS

Giving her views on hanging of all four accused in the Nirbhaya gang-rape case, BJP Mahila Morcha State president Pravati Parida on Friday said people’s trust on judicial system has been enhanced even as a delay was marked in the justice delivery process.

“Today is a day of happiness for all of us. It is a justice availed to all people having faith on the judicial system. All accused in the Nirbhaya gang-rape case have been hanged. People’s faith on justice system has been strengthened further,” said Parida.

Parida said the struggle of Nirbhaya’s parents for seven years would certainly inspire others to avail justice. The punishment availed to Nirbhaya accused would alert miscreants not to commit such crimes, she said.

Stating that loopholes in police and legal systems delayed justice in the Nirbhaya case, she said, “Many rape victims of the State will get justice if such loopholes are blocked.”
