While many Rajya Sabha members became emotional when condemning the gang-rape of a young woman in a moving bus in Delhi, Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan broke down.
Adressing the house after Deputy Chairman PJ Kurien gave her a second chance to speak, Bachchan asked if the government had made any public apology to the victim’s family. ‘First of all, whatever happened? Did the government send any condolence to the family? Did you publicly make any announcement saying we are so sorry something so shameful happened in our country?’ Bachchan, a veteran filmstar, asked in the upper house of parliament.
‘Sir, I’m basically an artist and I’m very very disturbed by it. What is going to happen to her?
Everybody will forget but she will remember for the rest of her life. It will be a scar. It’s a terrible mental torture. How are you going to repay for this?’ she said, her voice choking with emotions.
