It the demanded the resignation of the officials over their inaction into the brutal murder.

The Justice Verma Committee had recommended amendments to the criminal law for quicker trial and favoured enhancing punishment in sexual assault cases.

Police had resorted to lathicharge to disperse the large number of protesters of the party’s youth wing gathered outside the Anand Parbat police station who clambered over the barricades. “At round 10.30pm whereas I was speaking to the media outdoors Rajinder Nagar station, a Delhi police bus tried to run over me however one volunteer pushed me apart”, Pandey stated.

Now many accuse Kejriwal of evading responsibility by blaming Delhi Police and Centre. “The Delhi government has decided to call a special session to propose the setting up of an inquiry commission to probe what action will be taken in these cases (crime against women)”, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia told reporters.

While the police is up in arms against Kejriwal for referring to them as “thullas”, this ad comes as a defiant dismissal of their protest and a counter-attack mounted to target both the police and the Modi government.
