India News: An effigy of Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit was burnt here on Saturday to protest the brutal rape of a five-year-old girl in Delhi and the insensitivity of the administration and the police in the national capital to deal with such horrific incidents.

Nearly 200 members of the All-India Mahila Sanskritik Sangathan, the women's wing of SUCI(C), burnt the effigy during a procession it took out.

Sangathan president Hasi Hore said that similar processions were also taken out in districts.

Street corner meetings were held to condemn the horrific incident "which has shaken conscience of civilised world," she said.
