No change in society after Delhi rape: Meira Kumar

The society has not changed despite the widespread protests that followed the Delhi gang-rape of December 2012, Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar said Sunday.

She was addressing the media on the sidelines of a seminar related to spirituality organised by SREI Foundation, a charitable fund, in Kolkata.

"Unfortunately, there is no change in society," Meira Kumar said, in response to a question on whether she perceived any change for good in the society since that gang-rape.

The victim of the assault eventually died in Singapore.
