Earlier this week, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar had a very bold and hard-hitting statement on Twitter, about the rape and the murder of 8-year-old girl, Asifa. Following that, the Vikram Vedha girl has now posted another statement, saying that she doesn't feel like celebrating Tamil New Year today (April 14), when incidents like these continue to happen.
 

She posted, "I don’t feel like it’s a happy new year for any of us when our country and state are in such turmoil..!! It’s time to ask our selves before it’s too late..!! Is this the kind of society we want to live it..!! They say our future is determined by our past suffering #timesup

Is a child’s life worth only a day of mourning and rage ?!?Let’s unite and demand justice ..make the #deathpenalty for rape a law.Only if we ask we shall receive.I beg my fellow Indians its time to start Standing up for the right reasons..rape is not something we can tolerate

If we all say it’s not our problem..did the victims family think that it can happen to them.?? No but it did.. it can happen to any of us.. I don’t need to be a mother to feel this rage and pain..plz jus be human and rage now.. we r already too late..let’s stand up now
