Rajasthan CM Gehlot says efforts to be made to set up fast-track courts

Apart from sending proposals to the Centre about setting up fast-track courts to provide speedy justice, the Rajasthan government will make efforts to set up these courts at the state level in consultation with the high court, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has said. He described protests with bodies as "inappropriate" and said such agitations not only create legal hurdles in the investigation but are also insensitive towards the victims. Gehlot on Saturday held a review meeting on law and order at his residence. He said since police started the process of registering the records of miscreants at police stations, crimes have come down and there is a sense of security among women and their parents. Speedy justice has been ensured in cases of serious crimes, Gehlot said.

This is not Gehlot govt, it is 'Grih-loot' govt: BJP chief in Rajasthan

Attacking the Congress dispensation in Rajasthan over crime against women, corruption and other issues, BJP national president J P Nadda on Saturday called upon the people to remove the government if they want to change the situation in the state. Accusing the Ashok Gehlot-led government of being a 'Grih-loot sarkar' that loots houses of people, Nadda said the ruling Congress in the state has given a free hand to its MLAs to indulge in corruption and fill the pockets of their party 'bosses' in Delhi. Targeting the opposition INDIA alliance, the BJP chief said the grouping does not care for the people. They are only worried about saving their families and therefore, they have joined hands against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he added. "This is not Gehlot government, this is a 'Grih-loot' sarkar that loots houses of the people. Congress means loot, corruption and misgovernance," he claimed, addressing a public meeting in Sawai Madhopur on the launch of the BJP's 'Parivartan ...
