Diffrence in views and behaviour for women is the main problem : CM

Bhopal : Chief Minister Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that respect to women is intrinsic in Indian culture for thousands of years. Difference in views and behaviour towards women’s rights is the root cause of problem. On one hand, we worship mother power and on the other discrimination is made between sons and daughters.

Contemplation should be made to change this perverted tendency. Both society and government need to make responsible efforts in this direction. Changes should be made in system and rules wherever necessary. He said that besides strict action against drug and human traffickers, society should also not cooperate with perpetuators of such heinous crimes.
