Amitabh Bachchan made a strong protest against the recent Delhi gang rape. He condemned the incident and posted on his Facebook profile, "The gang rape in Delhi and its details are simply unmentionable... punish the culprits, with the most severe punishment ever .. But also let us introspect ! What is going wrong with our society, our people. Naari ke roop mein hum pooja karte hain - Durga, Kali, Lakshmi ki .. jo shraddha hum yahan pradaan karte hain, apne desh ki mahilaon pe kyun nahin karte .. !!!"

"Somewhere the fear of justice, of the system, of our morals and our upbringing has given rise to a freedom that perpetrates such crimes !! An intolerance has set in ! And unless we move fast and sure footedly to rectify this, there can be no correction. Let every Indian become a vigilante, a soldier, a commander that shall fight such heinous crimes with strength and conviction !!"

In another post, he posted that, "The horrific rape case in New Delhi is beyond any kind of vocabulary to describe its occurrence !! It is an act of a demon, a monster that deserves the harshest punishment ; a punishment that should set an example for any such perpetrator in the future."

He also expressed his anguish on Twitter. He posted "Wanted to say so much of the day .. but so disturbed by the gang rape case in Delhi .. atrocious and unforgivable !! On this public platform I dare not even attempt to mention the details of the rape case .. even an animal would not behave so .. !!"

On the following day of the gruesome incidence, MP Jaya Bhaduri Bachchan had made a very strong protest against the incident and even broke down.
