Watch | Naqvi meets victim’s parents, assures passage of juvenile bill

Updated on Dec 22, 2015 03:36 pm IST

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday assured disappointed parents of December 16 gang-rape victim's parents that the Juvenile Justice Bill would be passed in the Rajya Sabha today. Union Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi met the parents on Tuesday and asserted that there should not be any further delay in the passage of this bill. The apex court has dismissed the petition filed by Delhi Commission of Women (DCW) Chairperson Swati Maliwal against the release of the juvenile offender in the case, saying 'there has to be a clear legislative sanction' in this regard.
