"The BSP is with the victim's family in this hour of grief," she wrote and added that the Uttar Pradesh government should take special initiative soon to provide proper justice to the victim's family as this is a public demand.
2. साथ ही, इस किस्म की दर्दनाक घटनाओं को यूपी सहित पूरे देशभर में रोकने हेतु राज्य सरकारों को चाहिए कि वे लोगों में कानून का खौफ पैदा करे तथा केन्द्र भी ऐसी घटनाओं को मद्देनजर रखते हुये दोषियों को निर्धारित समय के भीतर ही फांसी की सख्त सजा दिलाने का कानून जरूर बनाए।
