With a spurt in incidents of honour killings across the country, the Government on Thursday decided to set up a Group of Ministers (GoM) to consider amendments to the law to deal with the issue and said the bill for that will be brought in the monsoon session of Parliament.
"Government wants amendments to be brought to Parliament in the monsoon session," Information and Broadcasting Minister Ambika Soni told reporters after the meeting of the Union Cabinet here.
Apart from a Group of Ministers (GoM) which would be set up to consider amendments to the law to deal with honour killings, views will also be sought from states to the proposed amendments to IPC and CrPC to deal with the killings, Soni said.
"The so-called honour killings have to be brought under the ambit of law of land," she said.
"Consultations will be completed well before the monsoon session is over," Union Home Minister P Chidamabaram added
