Tharoor asked on Twitter, "Wondering what interest is served by continuing anonymity of #DelhGangRape victim. Why not name&honour her as a real person w/own identity?"
Tharoor wondered what interest was being served by keeping her name under wraps. He said the revised anti-rape legislation should be named after the victim if her parents do not have any objection.
Former IPS officer, and now social and civil rights activist, Kiran Bedi welcomed the suggestion.
Bedi said: "What Tharoor has said, may be unique in India, but it is not new in the world. Many of the American laws, like the Megan Law, the Jessica Law and the Brady Law have been so named to perpetuate the memory and suffering of the victims, and also to remember the spirit behind the law. I would support Tharoor's suggestion, as it is a good idea."
