[b]NDTV:[/b][color=#000000][font=Georgia,] You said that you will give special attention to pushing stronger law. You also went on the first day after this happened to the hospital and met the family of the girl. Tell us about it.[/font][/color]

[b]Meira Kumar:[/b][color=#000000][font=Georgia,] Yes I went there. I didn't go to see the girl because she is in ICU and although they said I could go, but you know just because I am the Speaker I don't think I should take that liberty, and let her rest. But I did meet the father and the mother and I am so full of admiration for them. It has really touched me. They come from a very financially, very, very weak background and I don't think they have had the advantage of education, specially the mother. I don't think that she is literate. But what dignity. You know I didn't hear a single word of complaint, or reaction or anger. It's a very high level of sophistication which I rarely see, even amongst the elite and those who are very, supposed to be very sophisticated. [b]And she told me that they eat [/b][/font][/color][b][i]namak[/i][color=#000000][font=Georgia,], [/font][/color][i]roti [/i][/b][color=#000000][font=Georgia,][b]and they had a small plot of land which they sold off to make their daughter a doctor.[/b] They have two younger sons and you know, till today I have heard of people selling off their land to pay dowry for their daughter's wedding, and people sell their land to educate the son, but this is a rare case where they wanted to make their daughter a doctor. She was here looking for an internship and the father told me, it really touched me. He said, what has happened has happened, and this was an accident, but he doesn't want any other girl to suffer this kind of fate. I don't have words to describe how much I admire them for the inner strength that they have.[/font][/color]
