EARLY TIMES REPORT

Addressing the press conference, President (WEF), Dr.Anuradha Goswami said ``We criticise Taliban for dress-code for girls, Pakistan for terrorism, Australia for attack on Indians, whereas our government, politicians have closed their eyes to the sane thoughts and indulging in insanity and mindless killing''.
In country like India where gay relationship, living-in relationship have been legalized by Supreme court then why sacred and pious relationship based on humanitarian ground is sacrificed in the name of "Honour Killing". She, meanwhile, appreciated the efforts of Shakti Vahini, a Delhi based NGO, which has filed a case in the Supreme Court to provide police protection to such young couples.
