Voice 9, New Delhi: In a veiled allusion to the Kolkata doctor rape and
murder atrocity, Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized the necessity of
stringent repercussions for individuals perpetrating these "abominable
acts." During his 11th discourse to the nation from the bastions of the
renowned Red Fort on Independence Day, PM Modi underscored the imperative for
state administrations to address crimes against women with gravity and
cultivate a climate of apprehension among offenders.
"I wish to reiterate my anguish today, from the Red Fort. As a
collective, we must earnestly contemplate the heinous acts against women that
persist—there is widespread indignation in the nation. I can sense this
indignation. The nation, society, and state authorities must accord due
seriousness to this matter. Prompt investigation of crimes against women and
swift and stringent punishment for those perpetrating these abhorrent acts must
be meted out promptly; this is crucial to fostering trust in society,"
articulated PM Modi.
PM Modi advocated for in-depth dialogues on the consequences awaiting
perpetrators without explicitly referencing the gruesome incident, so that
wrongdoers understand that transgressions against women result in severe
penalties.
