New Delhi, Dec.29 (PTI) Condoling the death of the Delhi gangrape victim, the Editors Guild of India today asked the Government to tighten laws dealing with crimes against women and make punishment for rape both speedy and certain. It also asked the Government to outline a programme for changing attitudes towards women, so that the ill-considered remarks of the sort made by some politicians in recent days are not considered symptomatic of broader attitudes. "The Guild recognises that the heinous crime of rape is far too common an occurrence in the country, and calls for speedy action to make punishment for rape both speedy and certain, as that is the surest preventive step that can be taken," it said in a statement here. It said the death of the 23-year-old woman, who was gangraped and assaulted in a moving bus on December 16, has sent shock-waves across the country, and brought about a public outpouring of grief and anger as never witnessed before. The Guild noted that the media has risen to the occasion in covering this episode with responsibility, and helped the protest stay mostly peaceful by providing outlets for the expression of both grief and anger. The media has also rightly taken the government and the police to task for poorly judged decisions on how to deal with demonstrations and for imposing excessive traffic restrictions,. it said. "The Guild recognises the role played by the social media in mobilising people to come out and express their solidarity, and notes that this marks an important change in the non-political organisation of widely shared feelings and thoughts. Governments will have to respond, and governance change," it said. PTI VMN VMN
