LONDON: Prime Minister Narendra Modi decried the Kathua rape case as shame for the whole nation while interacting with Indian diaspora in London on Wednesday
He added that the recent incidents of sexual assault were a shame for the country. “A rape is a rape. How can we tolerate this exploitation of our daughters? But can we compare the number of rapes in different governments? We can’t say there were this many rapes in our government and that many in yours. There cannot be a worse way to deal with this issue,” Modi told the Indian diaspora at an event, Bharat Ki Baat, Sabke Saath, where he referred to the Kathua victim as the “eight-year-old-girl”.
The PM said people need to teach their sons to treat girls with respect. “We ask our daughters what they have been doing when they come home late, but do we ask our sons? These sinners are somebody’s sons!” he said.
Replying a question on surgical strikes on terror launch pads in PoK in 2016, Modi said terrorism wouldn’t ever be accepted. “We believe in peace. But won’t tolerate those who run the industry of exporting terror and kill Indians. We’ll give back strong answers and in the language they understand,” he said to a huge applause.
