President Pranab Mukherjee signs sexual assault ordinance

NEW DELHI: Despite oppositions by women's groups, President Pranab Mukherjee today signed the ordinance on sexual assault which was passed by the Union Cabinet on Friday.

On Friday, women's organisations, civil society groups and women's rights activists had appealed to President Pranab Mukherjee "not to sign" it.

The government on Friday brought in the ordinance to introduce stricter penalties for crimes against women.

The Parliament now has to pass the ordinance within six months. The Budget Session of Parliament starts on February 21.

The ordinance incorporates some but not all of the recommendations of the Justice Verma commission, a panel of three legal experts, appointed by the government in the wake of fierce street protests after the Delhi gang rape.
