Taking to Twitter, Sisodia said that everyone should work together so that laws can be changed to ensure speedy justice.
“In the Nirbhaya case, lawyers are using tactics to delay the execution. They are making fun of the system. We must work together to ensure speedy justice and so that laws can be changed to enable justice and remove flaws,” Sisodia tweeted in Hindi.
