Home Minister should step in, speed up the trial: Congress

Hanamkonda: The loss is irreparable; all that the government can do is to provide a speedy justice to the parents of the nine-month-old infant, who was molested and killed by a pervert a few days ago, Warangal DCC president Naini Rajender Reddy said. Speaking to media persons here on Tuesday after consoling the victim's parents, he expressed concern over the growing violence against women.

"The State government should intervene and ensure setting up of a fast track court so that the victim's parents could get a speedy justice," he said and added that the onus is on Home Minister Md Mahmood Ali and the legislators to ensure that the accused get a stringent punishment at the earliest. He said that the government should take measures to avoid such gruesome incidents in the future.

Reddy assured that Congress would be in the forefront to support the victim's parents. The Congress will not sit idle if the government fails to provide justice to the victim's family.
