Nath, who is Parliamentary Affairs Minister, also said the amendments to the anti-rape laws will "take precedence over everything else" during the next session of Parliament.
"I feel that there should be fast track courts to try cases of heinous crimes against politicians like rape and murder so that a judicial verdict is possible in six months", he told PTI.
Amendments should be made in laws to facilitate such a provision, he said.
Nath, a senior Congress leader with over three decades in Parliament, sought unanimity on the move as it would help give time-bound punishment to those guilty and clear the air for those who are innocent.
"All political parties should reach a consensus on the issue which is not related to any party or politician", he said.
The fast track courts should cover all MPs and MLAs and former MPs and MLAs as also corporators in the Municipal Corporations, he said. (More)
