New Delhi: Amid its standoff with the Delhi Police, the AAP government will discuss threadbare the issue of women security and propose setting up of a Commission of Enquiry to probe alleged police inaction in cases of sexual harassment, during a special session of the Assembly on Tuesday.
The Delhi Cabinet last week had decided to present the proposal in the Assembly to set up the Commission to probe those cases which were not investigated despite introduction of a stringent anti-rape law in February 2013.
The brutal stabbing of a 19-year-old girl on July 16 in Anand Parbat in central Delhi has again brought the issue of women’s safety into focus, pitting the Arvind Kejriwal government against Delhi Police.
The government has accused the police which does not report to it of callousness vis-a-vis the murder and blamed it for what it said was the deteriorating law and order situation in Delhi.
