GIRLS NAME OUT, CLAMOUR GROWS.


GIRLS NAME OUT, CLAMOUR GROWS

The handwringing over masking the identity of the Delhi Rape victim turned largely academic today after two British tabloids published her name and her father led his village in demanding disclosure in India.The father’s call was based  on  premise that the disclosure of identity would earn  her a rightful place in “history”,helping her become an “inspiration” to all female. shortly after the UK tabloids conducted an interview in which the father named her( the surname did not appear to be completely right), the demand to do the similar in India went viral on social media.No reaction was immediately available from the  government of India, which has so far refuse to disclose the person's name despite Union minister Shashi Tharoor suggesting the victim be honoured by naming the revised rape laws after her with her family’s permission. Reuters, however, quoted public prosecuter Rajiv Mohan as saying : “Even if family members have given their permission to disclose the victim’s identity for a greater cause we can’t disclose her name, following  Section 228A of the Indian Penal code that bans the publications of a rape victim’s name on pain of a jail term of up to two years.
