Prime Minister Narendra Modi sent a stern message on Sunday, as worries about crimes against women continue to rise. He promised that those who commit these atrocities “will not be spared.”
PM Modi’s Addressal Of Recent Atrocious Cases
PM Modi addressed the recent national outcry over crimes like the Assam gangrape, the Badlapur school sex abuse case, and the Kolkata doctor’s rape and murder during his speech at the Lakhpati Didi event in Jalgaon, Maharashtra. Crimes against women, in his words, are an “unforgivable sin.”.
“It is society and the government’s duty to uphold the safety and dignity of women… We are strengthening and making stricter laws for criminals who commit sins against women,” the Prime Minister said.
Government’s Legal Reforms Unveiled
Prime Minister Modi outlined the government’s initiatives to improve legal frameworks and enforcement methods, including the introduction of new legislation and the development of new tools to increase victims’ access to justice.
“Earlier, there were complaints that FIRs were not filed. We brought the BNS [Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita] and made a lot of amendments,” he said. “If a woman does not want to go to the police station, she can file an e-FIR. Nobody can change or tamper with an e-FIR.”
Regarding crimes against women after marriage, Prime Minister Modi stated that his government has specifically amended the BNS to address these issues. He gave the assurance that, when it comes to combating crimes against women, the federal government stands solidly with state governments.
“Today, I challenge you: keep the seven decades of previous governments on one side and put 10 years of the Modi government on the other scale… The amount of work that the Modi government has done for the sisters and daughters of the country, no government has done since independence,” he said.
