#1 These Beasts Don't Deserve To Live

Those beasts who rape children younger than 12 years don't deserve to live and should be hanged till death, this is what Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said in his statement when a new bill titled as "the punishment method" was passed in Madhya Pradesh assembly on Monday.

#2 Mr Chouhan Says They Are Also Trying To Raise Awareness Against Such Grave Issue

Mr Chouhan in his statement said, "People who rape 12-year-old girls are not human, they are demons. They do not have the right to live. There are people in society who can be set right only by severe punishments. (The bill) will deal with them. We will also raise awareness in society against such crimes."

The bill also raises the period of minimum sentence for paedophiles to 14 years and for gang rapists to 20 years. The bill now needs to be signed by the President and Federal Government before it becomes the new law.

#4 Disagreement With The Law

Though the general public is happy with the new law, hoping that it will help in controlling the circumstances and maybe now their kids will be safe but a certain group of campaigners claim the new death penalty law could induce the paedophiles into killing their victims to get rid of the evidence, as the child victim could testify against them.
