PM Modi`s big message on crime against women in India amid Kolkata doctor rape & murder case
Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his Independence Day speech condemned violence against women. He said that it is the need of the hour, that extensive discussion on those receiving punishment be held so that those committing this sin understand that this leads to hanging.
PM Narendra Modi said, "...I would like to express my pain once again, from the Red Fort today. As a society, we will have to think seriously about the atrocities against women that are happening - there is outrage against this in the country. I can feel this outrage. The country, society, State Governments will have to take this seriously. Speedy investigation of crimes against women, those executing these monstrous deeds be awarded strict punishment at the earliest - this is important to instil confidence in society. I would also like to say that when rapes and incidents of atrocities on women occur, it is widely discussed. But when a person of such monstrous tendency is punished, it is not seen in news, but restricted to a corner. It is the need of the hour, that extensive discussion on those receiving punishment be held so that those committing this sin understand that this leads to hanging. I think it is very important to instil this fear."
