Women don't feel safe in Delhi: CM

New Delhi, Feb 6 (IANS): Women do not feel safe in Delhi, Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit admitted Wednesday.

"Women don't feel safe in Delhi. Fears have risen. I'm shocked to learn about the Lajpat Nagar attempted rape case. It's a big setback for us," she said referring to the rape bid on a 19-year-old woman Tuesday.

The Class 9 student fought off the rape bid in her own house by an electricity contractor, who thrust an iron rod into her throat to quell her cries for help. The accused has been arrested.

However, the chief minister promised to do everything possible to provide safety to women.

"My government will do everything possible to provide a conducive atmosphere for the women in the city," Dikshit said.

But Communist Party of India-Marxist leader Brinda Karat criticised Dikshit.

"It is clear that women in Delhi are insecure. The chief minister is speaking the truth. But it is surely not enough. What is her responsibility as chief minister?

"Women's security issues have become political football between central and state government. Chief minister blames Delhi Police; central government defends police. It's a shame."

    Law & Order is not your cup of cake Mrs.Chief Minister. You have never been efficient enough when it comes to Public Safety & Security. Home Ministry must be given to those who are agressive and Tough enough. Delhi will not change unless you bring in such people as I said herein 1above.

    For the people who do not know, Delhi is the only state where the police do not report to the CM but to the central government. She is just expressing her frustration that she does not have any control over the police.
