Draft 4
Dear Prime Minister Singh,
Disappointment in how the police
mishandled the rape incident
I am writing to you to express my
disappointment towards the mishandling of the recent rape case that happened in
New Delhi recently. It has sparked nationwide protests. At the same time, many
people including myself are very aghast with how the police in India handled
this case.
I strongly feel that the police in India
do not have any sense of urgency. For example, the recent gang rape in New
Delhi had showed us that police in India handled exigent cases in a sluggish
way. It was reported on the news that a friend of the rape victim who had
witnessed the cruel tragedy told the reporter, they were both seriously
injured, but no one attended to them. Not even the police officer. He also
added that the police delayed the time by arguing over who had the jurisdiction
instead of sending the couple to the hospital.
Moreover, I am
very disappointed with how women are treated in India. Women are not equally
treated as man. For example, women are banned from using hand phones, wear
jeans, shorts and even t-shirts. It was said to prevent love affairs, elopement
and rape cases. However, both love affairs and elopement involve both genders,
but why are the males not banned for any of the above? In fact, by introducing
such laws will only make females in India inferior. I suggest that you can
actually implement laws that are fair to all and not biased in favor of the
males.
Furthermore, I
feel that stricter laws could be enforced to decrease the number of crimes in your
country. I also feel that rapist should be severely punishment so as to
decrease the number of rape cases. I suggest that you can actually implement
severe punishment such as life imprisonment, chemical castration and death
penalty.
Lastly, I hope
that you will looked into these problems and make improvement to the judicial
system in India. I also hope that in the near future, both male and females
will be treated equally. In addition, I hope that you can raise awareness of
the public and educate females on how to protect themselves so as to prevent
them from becoming the next rape victim.
Yours sincerely,
Ng Lay Hoon
