Guwahati: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was Saturday appealed by a human rights organisation to declare December 29 as 'National Day for Protesting Violence against Women' and announce a national award in the name of the Delhi gangrape victim who died in Singapore early this morning.

"No other incident has either evoked or shocked the conscience of the nation as this particular incident," said Asian Centre for Human Rights Director Suhas Chakma in a statement here.

"The Declaration of 29th December as the 'National Day for Protesting Violence Against Women' and a national award in her name will remind the nation about the need to address the issue of violence against women", the statement said.

This should be done along with the number of actions to be recommended by the Justice J S Verma Committee and Justice Usha Mehra Committee (on violence against women), Chakma said.

Manmohan is a weekest PM who always act like a puppit . He doesn`t have guts to say yes special parliament session is required and will do necessary changes to all women laws. I belieive he is not a sikh. Shame Mr. Singh

Whole country is suffering the pain that nation’s daughter suffered dying, not from a natural death, but being gang raped and beaten up mercilessly. These monsters must suffer the pain to make a deterrent for others ever think of doing this to another daughter of this country. A quick ution is nothing as compared to what she suffered. Let her death not go in vain. Their action validate a sentence of excision of genitalia and stoning to death.

No need for a national day...just get her a justice would be enough for her soul to rest in peace. Get those criminals the worse punishment, death is not enough for them. People want action and justice not a lollypop of these words

The ones who can commit an act as horrible as a rape are mentally sick and need help but this help is required to be provided well in time. Before they go this crazy. The bar for needing psycho or other counselling should be made a must to all citizens and thus a tap can be kept on who needs more attention thus reducing a lot of crimes int eh country. Counselling for teenagers and young people is really required as they go through a lot of changes in life at this age and sometimes circumstances can make them do crazy things.
