Condemn the harassment by R. Balu on 25 Oct 2012

I was pained at this issue. Saw her in the television so bright during program and saw her shattered by walking in to the police station. She need to be supported overwhelm for increasing her confidence level. And all her fans need to que up and join hands to protest against such atrocities caused to any women and see that all those committed this incident should be behind bars and the police should handle them in such a way that they should loose their ???? at all so that by looking at them and hear about the punishment to them no one will have guts to Repeat to any one henceforth. Sure Amma's government which only brought tough laws on ragging and even given shelter to abandoned female child will also book all those culprits. apology will not serve this purpose. sorry will certainly be removed from the dictionary at all. Also celebrities should control themselves and move on as free talking or social movements are mistaken here and freedom of speech n write is misused.
