Lt. Governor Displayed Sensitivity By Forwarding The POCSO Public Prosecutor Appointment Matter To Union Home Ministry: Virendra Sachdeva
New Delhi: According to Mr. Virendra Sachdeva, the President of Delhi BJP, the Arvind Kejriwal government in Delhi has been criticized for its lack of action in ensuring the safety of women and girls and providing swift justice for crimes against them. Despite the government's claims of prioritizing women's safety, little has been done to address the issue effectively.
The BJP President pointed out that cases related to crimes against minor girls have been regularly reported in Delhi. Unfortunately, despite the efforts of the Delhi Police, these cases have not been resolved promptly due to a shortage of public prosecutors.
In the previous year, a trial court ordered the Delhi Government's Home Department to prepare a file for the appointment of Special Public Prosecutors to expedite the disposal of Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses (POCSO) cases. However, for the past nine months, the file has been circulating among different departments of the Delhi Government without any decision being made.
