What ‘justice’ will a state that has itself prompted and encouraged violence against women dispense to the grieving family? Meanwhile, the Prime Minister’s Office has yet to issue any condemnation of the latest spate of violence against women across the country. To be fair to the prime minister though, his condemnation would be as hollow and meaningless as the anti-rape ordinances brought in by his government – so just as well.
