Those committing crime against women won’t be spared, says PM Modi

Jalgaon (Maharashtra): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday termed crimes against women as an unforgivable sin and said the culprits should not be spared. Addressing the ‘Lakhpati Didi Sammelan’ in Jalgaon in north Maharashtra, Modi said the safety of women should be a priority.

He said, “The safety of mothers, sisters and daughters is the priority of the country. I have raised this issue time and again from the ramparts of the Red Fort. Whatever be the state of the country, I understand the pain and anger of my sisters and daughters.” Modi said that he would tell every political party and state government that crimes against women were an unforgivable sin. Whoever is guilty should not be spared.

“Those who help the conspirators of crimes against women should not be spared. Whether it is a hospital or a school, the government or the police system, at whatever level there has been neglect, the accountability of everyone should be fixed.

“The message should go from top to bottom. This sin is unforgivable. Governments will come and go, but the dignity of women and the protection of life… We all have a huge responsibility, both as society and as a government,” Modi said.
