The diktat of a panchayat in Jharkhand to rape a minor was raised in the Rajya Sabha Friday, as the entire house demanded strict action against the guilty. <br />Raising the issue during zero hour, Prabhat Jha of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) called the incident a blot on humanity and shame on the nation.<br />The entire house across party lines joined Jha in expressing concern over the issue, and demanded action against all those guilty.<br />"It is not about any government, it's an issue of human sensitivity. Not a single person spoke as a 10-year-old girl was raped. The police said there is no evidence," Jha said, raising the issue in the upper house.<br />A minor was raped in Jharkhand allegedly on the panchayat's diktat after her brother was accused of molesting and trying to rape a woman. The act was committed at Gulgulia village, located about 60 km from Bokaro Monday.<br />Leader of Opposition Ghulam Nabi Azad said: "I think the entire village and the police should be held responsible. We passed a legislation last year, what happened to it? What is the use when it's not implemented?" <br />Deputy Chairman P.J. Kurien shared the concern of the members and said the government should "inquire about the issue and come back to the house".<br />"Also if such a crime has happened, serious action should be taken," Kurien said.<br />As per police, the girl's brother allegedly molested the woman Sunday night and the issue was taken to the village panchayat Monday.<br />The minor's mother lodged a complaint and the accused was arrested. <br /><br /><br /><br />For More information on this news visit: http://www.itvnewsindia.com/<br />For More information on this news, visit: http://www.itvnewsindia.com/hindi<br />Connect with us on Social platform at: http://www.facebook.com/IndiaNewsTV<br />Subscribe to our You Tube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/itvnewsindia
