I congratulate people of this country for this victory. Very few protests have achieved so much in such less time. But until something concrete happens, I will not give up. Until a system is there which ensures safety for the last girl, I won't give up, the Delhi Commission for Women chairperson said. (AFP PHOTO)

I will continue the fast until the ordinance is passed. Also police resources and accountability needs to be increased. Really sad that some channels are playing false news that I have broken the fast. Praying to all news channels conscience to kindly not report fake news, she added. (AFP PHOTO)

New Delhi: DCW chief Swati Maliwal said on Saturday she won't end her fast until something concrete happens to ensure safety of a girl child, even though the Union Cabinet approved an ordinance to give stringent punishment, including the death penalty, to those convicted of raping girls below 12 years.
