Dear IAC members
As we expected, the Govt has been forced to up the ante of this dubious sham of a Justice Verma Committee.
Yesterday, the Rajya Sabha published a notice (dated 8.Jan..2013) calling for suggestions on the "rape" legislation introduced on 4.Dec.2012. (text below)

Our IAC "Save India" sub-Committee which drafted the response to Justice Verma is back in action. Anyone else who wishes to join us may email me or reply to this email

PRESS RELEASE
STANDING COMMITTEE ON HOME AFFAIRS INVITES SUGGESTIONS ON THE CRIMINAL LAW (AMENDMENT) BILL, 2012
The Criminal Law (Amendment) Bill, 2012 as introduced in the Lok Sabha on 4 December 2012 and pending therein, has been referred to Department-related Parliamentary Standing Committee on Home Affairs, headed by Shri M. Venkaiah Naidu, M.P. Rajya Sabha for examination and report. The Bill seeks to amend the Indian Penal Code, 1860, the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 to review laws related to rape/sexual offences.
2. The Committee has decided to invite suggestions in the form of written memoranda from the public/associations/women organizations/civil societies, etc, on the provisions of the Bill.
3. Those desirous of submitting written memoranda to the Committee, may send the same to Shri D. K. Mishra, Joint Director, Rajya Sabha Secretariat, Room No. 142, First Floor, Parliament House Annexe, New Delhi-110001 {Tele: 23035410 (O) and 23012007 (fax)} latest by 28th January, 2013.
4. The memorandum which might be submitted to the Committee, would form part of its records and treated as confidential and, therefore, should not be printed, circulated or publicized by anyone, as such an act would constitute a breach of privilege of the Committee.
5. Individuals/stakeholders may obtain, on written request, a copy of the Bill, from Shri Bhupendra Bhaskar, Assistant Director, Rajya Sabha Secretariat, Cabin 'A', Basement, Parliament House Annexe, New Delhi-110001 (Telephone No. 011-23034034).
