Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley: "The entire country should hang its head in shame. This is an occasion to introspect why this woman became a victim of such a terrible crime. We need to ask ourselves why such incidents happen in India. What kind of atmosphere have we created that allow such crimes to take place. The most important thing is to have an alert citizenry. Only alert citizens can force police to act, prevent such crimes from happening."
