Lucknow, Jan 15: Accusing the Uttar Pradesh government of failing to check increasing cases of sexual assault on women, a BJP delegation today met Governor B L Joshi and sought his intervention into the matter.

 


Led by state president Laxmi Kant Bajpai, the delegation handed over a seven-point memorandum to Joshi and requested his interfere as the protector of Constitution to deal with the crisis, BJP state spokesperson Vijay Bahadur Pathak said.
 
Pathak claimed cases of crime against women have sharply gone up and as many as 337 cases have been reported under the present regime, with Samajwadi Party's own ministers and MLAs facing allegations of rape, said Pathak.  

Suggesting steps towards ensuring speedy justice for rape victims, the party demanded that FIRs should be registered in all complaints and they should be referred to fast-track courts.
