In his message marking International Women’s Day on Sunday, Mr. Deshmukh asked people to give their suggestions in the comment section of his Twitter post.
“The Maharashtra government will soon bring a law to stop incidents of atrocities against women from happening. The law aims to ensure speediest action against the perpetrators,” the minister said in a video shared on Twitter. “If you want to make suggestions about the law, I request you to do so in my comment box,” he said.
Later, Mr. Deshmukh attended a women’s safety rally at Marine Drive, with women personnel from the Mumbai Police also taking part.
