New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said such incidents make ‘our heads hang in shame’ and asked parents to take responsibility for their son’s actions and put the same restrictions on them as they put on their daughters.
“Today, when we hear about incidents of rape, our heads hang in shame. People give different arguments. Some blame it on psychological problem. Every parent with a girl child is terribly worried today, from the day she grows they start asking them where are they going, when will they come back and tell them to call back home after reaching their place,” Modi said.
“Let every parent decide to put the same restrictions on their sons as they put on their daughters,” he said.
He said while the law will take its course and be strict on such crime, parents should be equally responsible to check such incidents.
The Prime Minister also voiced concern over cases of female foeticide, stressing that they be stopped and warned doctors against becoming a partner in such crimes.
