AISA holds protest over top cop's comments on rape

Members of All India Students' Association today staged a protest seeking resignation of senior Delhi Police officer Deepak Mishra over his reported comments on rape in the wake of sexual assault on two minors in the national capital.
"Two minors were raped in the national capital and a senior police official says rapes keep taking place in other cities too and it occurs in Delhi then what is the big deal about it.
"A senior official making such a statement on a sensitive matter...Hence, we staged protest over the issue seeking his resignation," AISA's Delhi unit chief Anmol Ratan said.

Anmol said that both Centre and Delhi government are engaged in a blame game as the issues relating to women safety go unheeded.
"Both the parties ruling at Centre and state came to power after making big promises on women safety. But now they are engaged in blame games as the incidents are taking place. Who will take responsibility for the same?" he asked.
Around 70 members of the AISA took part in the protest, he claimed.

"Be it London or America, rapes happen everywhere. It's our responsibility to fight hard against it... Delhi Chief Minister's views are his perception. If Delhi Police is bad are police forces elsewhere also bad?" Mishra, Senior Special Commissioner (Law and Order), had reportedly said.

Two children, including a two-and-half-year-old, were brutally raped in the capital on October 16, a week after the grisly sexual assault on a minor.
In the first case, the two-and-a-half-year-old girl was kidnapped by two motorcycle-borne men from a Ramlila event in west Delhi's Nihal Vihar locality last night. She was later found in a park bleeding profusely and crying.
In the second incident, a five-year-old girl was allegedly gangraped by a co-tenant and two of his associates at a slum cluster in east Delhi's Anand Vihar area last evening.
