"Only future will tell the fear that these hangings will have in the minds of rapists," she added.The Congress leader also supported death penlaty for such crimes. "I think if the person is a rapist or a terrorist then why should common people's taxes be used to take care of them. Hence, this burden should be removed from the earth," she added.On the Supreme Court's verdict on permanent commission to women officers in the Indian Army, Lamba said, "With this judgment, it is clear that the government should have brought this reform earlier.""The SC verdict has revealed to all that there are still orthodox people in the government who till date have not let the Women Reservation Bill to pass.
