Death penalty for child rapist: Swati Maliwal is on indefinite hunger strike Amid an outcry over Kathua and Unnao rape incidents, DCW chief Swati Maliwal, who is on hunger strike for nine days, on Saturday, said she won't end her fast until the law comes into force. "In this time of crisis, the prime minister has gone out of the country. But this daughter will wait to have the discussion with the prime minister until he returns to country," Maliwal said. On Friday, chief minister Arvind Kejriwal visited Maliwal and requested her to call off the hunger strike but Maliwal refused to do so. Death penalty for child rapist: Swati Maliwal is on indefinite hunger strike “Only submitting affidavit in the SC is not enough. The Centre must also create enough fast track courts, increase Delhi Police strength by 66,000 and strengthen forensic labs so that trial of crime against women can be completed in six months and perpetrator can be accorded death penalty,” she said. Maliwal had started her fast last week at Samta Sthal opposite to Rajghat as a mark of protest against the recent alleged rape incidents in Kathua and Unnao. A day before starting the fast, Maliwal had written to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi and on Thursday, she wrote to all Member of Parliaments asking for their support to her demand of a system that enables death penalty for child rapist within six months. -PTC News-
