New Delhi: Against the backdrop of the death of the Delhi gang-rape victim, the Army has issued advisories to all its formations across the country against holding new year parties.

Advisory has been issued to all formations that they should not organise new year parties, Army officials said here.

Army Chief Gen Bikaram Singh and his wife Bubbles Singh will visit patients in Army Research and Referral Hospital here and Base Hospital on the first day of the new year and distribute sweets.

Congress president Sonia Gandhi too has announced that the party will not be celebrating the new year following the incident.

Amid outpouring of anger and grief in the country, the body of the 23-year-old victim was flown here from Singapore early yesterday morning and cremated within hours.

Good thing to show our respect for the dead. Why was such a directive not issued when the media and the country were remembering the gory death of capt Saurabh kalia and our five brave soldiers in Kargil , a fortnight ago ? This country dumped his fathers request for justice, just like the young lady was dumped in Singapore . Is the army doing it since it wants to appear holier than thou ?

Its really heartening to know that the Army is concerned with the status of ladies in India. If only the Cong Government also believes in the same philosophy instead of of having MP`s talking ill of women as dented and painted India would be a great place to be in.
