“Nirbhaya” – Your Sacrifice will not go in Vain
16th December 2012 was a black day for Democracy in Independent India. A 23 year old para medical student was brutally gang raped by six hooligans in a private transport bus. After the heinous crime was perpetrated she and her male colleague were beaten and bruised mercilessly by the gangsters and thrown out of the moving bus. The girl who now is known as “Nirbhaya” fought a brave battle for life for 13 days and finally succumbed to the injuries in an hospital at Singapore. This gruesome and barbaric act of cowardice has moved the conscience of the entire nation. People from all walks of life have come out on to the streets and protested against this ghastly incident, demanding stringent punishment to the culprits who were involved in this inhuman act.
The Insurance Employees under the banner of AIIEA at Hyderabad also joined the protest on 2nd January, 2013 condemning this heinous crime. A candle light protest rally was organized in the premises of LIC Divisional Office, Hyderabad. More than 250 employees participated in this program which attracted the attention of both Print and Electronic media. All the leaders who spoke condemned the incident and demanded that the Government should punish the guilty immediately without any delay and also demanded the enactment of stringent laws which protect women from atrocities and assault.
