Parliament Passes Child Sexual Abuse Bill


Indian Parliament passed the bill to protect children below 18 from sexual abuse, on Tuesday and one man who is ecstatic to hear the news is superstar, Aamir Khan.
Aamir raised the issue of child sexual abuse in the second episode of his debut TV show Satyamev Jayate, which highlights social evils that exist in our nation. Post the bill was passed, Khan took to Facebook to express his delight. “Hey guys, great news! The Lok Sabha has passed the Protection of Children Against Sexual Offences Bill today!!! Unbelievable!!! Super News!,” wrote Aamir on his official page.
The bill instructs to set up special courts for speedy trials of cases against the offenders and also to provide stringent punishment, extending up to life term, to the culprit.
First speedy trials for female foeticide and now this bill, ‘Mr. Perfectionist’s show is surely heading in the right direction.
