NewsX@9 is a NewsX special show which debates the main news event of the day. An ordinance will be brought to amend the criminal law with focus on crime against women, providing punishment upto the entire life of a convict in case of rape whose terminology has been expanded to 'sexual assault'. The decision to promulgate the ordinance was taken at a specially-convened meeting of Union Cabinet , just 20 days ahead of the Budget Session of Parliament. Being brought against the backdrop of the gangrape and brutal assault of a 23-year-old girl in Delhi in December, the ordinance entails changes in the criminal law by amending Indian Penal Code (IPC), Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) and the Evidence Act. We debate this on the show and try to evolve consensus among our panelists over the issue. Watch this NewsX debate special show NewsX@9.
