When the House met for the day, Kanimozhi (DMK) and Jaya Bhaduri Bachchan (SP) raised the issue saying the victim was hospitalised with grievous injuries.
&ldquo;This is not the only incident (of rape of a girl child) happening in the country... we are not very sensitive to such acts,&rdquo; Kanimozhi said.
Asking the government to take strict action, she said, &ldquo;We need stricter laws to deal with such cases.&rdquo;
Bachchan said she has been seeking a discussion on such incidents for last couple of sessions but her notices have not been admitted. &ldquo;We discuss all kinds of atrocities but not those concerning women,&rdquo; she added.
Expressing shock at the incident, Deputy Chairman PJ Kurien agreed that &lsquo;very very stringent action should be taken.&rsquo; &ldquo;Ensure that very stringent (and) strict action is taken,&rdquo; he said and asked the government to inform of its action in the case.
