A day after Union minister Shashi Tharoor favoured naming the revised anti-rape law after the Delhi gang-rape victim, her family members on Wednesday said they have no objection to it and the move would be an honour to the girl.
The father and brother of the girl said that ‘if the government names the revised anti-rape law after her, they have no objection and it would be an honour to her’.
Tharoor had favoured making public the identity of the gang-rape victim wondering what interest was served by keeping her name under wraps.
Tharoor had also said the revised anti-rape legislation should be named after the victim if her parents do not have any objection.
‘Unless her parents object, she should be honoured&the revised anti-rape law named after her. She was a human being w/a name,not just a symbol,’ Tharoor, who is known for speaking his mind, said.
On reports of Telugu filmmaker Ramana Gaddam planning to make changes in his upcoming film to highlight the brutal gang rape, the girl’s brother said before doing so he should meet them and give information about the storyline. He said the director would have to clarify what he wants to portray.
Asked about the financial assistance from state governments, the brother said though announcements have been made, they are yet to receive the assistance.
