Modi asks parents to take responsibility of their sons
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.
