Modi asks parents to take responsibility of their sons
New Delhi, Aug 15 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday addressed the nation from the Red Fort in his first Independence Day speech where he said that a spate of rape cases have shamed India.
Modi also urged parents to take responsibility for the actions of
their sons like the way they do with their daughters.
“When we hear about such incidents our heads hang in shame. Those who
commit rape are also someone’s sons. You should stop them before they
take the wrong path,” the PM said taking reference of the issue of
crime against women that sparked off a nation-wide debate in the
recent past.
Modi said even when the girls are only 12 they are always asked so many questions by their parents like ‘where are you going? When will you come? Call me once you reach’.
“But do the parents ask the same questions to their sons as well like ‘where they are going’ and all?” he said in an unscripted speech, without a bullet-proof glass giving him security cover.
The PM said the law would take its own course. “But as a society every parents have a responsibility to teach their sons the difference between right and wrong,” he said.
