Take responsibility for your sons: Prime Minister Narendra Modi to parents during Independence Day address

NEW DELHI: Against the backdrop of rising cases of rape, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during this Independence Day address, said that such incidents make "our heads hang in shame" and asked parents to take responsibility for their son's actions and put the same restrictions on them as they put on their daughters.

"Today, when we hear about incidents of rape, our heads hang in shame. People give different arguments. Some blame it on psychological problem. Every parent who has a 10-year-old girl at home, asks them where are they going, when will they come back and tell them to call back home after reaching their place.

"But have you ever asked your sone where he is son going, why are they going and who are their friends. After all, the person committing the crime is also someone's son," he said in his Independence Day speech.
 
Every mother and father should keep a tab on their sons and hold them accountable much like the way they put restrictions on girls, he said.

"Let every parent decide to put the same restrictions on their sons as they put on their daughters," he said.

He hinted at the fact that while the law will take its course and be strict on such crime, parents should be equally responsible to check such incidents.

The Prime Minister also voiced concern over cases of female foeticide, stressing that they be stopped and warned doctors against becoming a partner in such crimes.

Noting that girls are equal partners in the development of the nation, the Prime Minister said that such cases are a reflection of the rot that has crept in society in the 21st century.

"Today, the sex ratio is 940 girls to 1000 boys. Who is creating this imbalance? Not God. I want to appeal to the doctors not to kill any unborn girl child for money," he said.

The Prime Minister said he has often seen that families prefer boys in the hope that they will look after them when they are old.

"But I have also seen families, where the single girl devotes her life to serve parents, staying away from marriage. I appeal to mothers and daughters — don't kill girls in the hope of a boy," he said.

In this regard, he hailed the performance of girls in the recently concluded Commonwealth Games, saying that out of the total 64 medallists, 29 were girls.

Well.. shows how you are catching up fast with Al-Akbari.

Not surprised that you are following the Mian and Mogul concept of contempt for girls and women and praising only sons, AND expecting a man to "take care" of his wife.

After all, it is the sons who have ruined the country for 30 years...but all bcz thery were raised by widowed women .

So, hopefully his message will sink into Sonia Ma and Vadra ma.

And

He inspired the wife to take responsibility for herself and get independent. Isn't that enough?

he ensured that his wife would not get the pleasure of physical intimacy through any man. he should have divorced her and arranged for her marriage to another man. then i would have praised him for keeping the happiness of his wife in mind.

Absolutely! I said the same to my contacts after frequent rapes in India. Modi has hit it hard and hit on the spot.

I was watching NDTV and I'm seeing a shift now and can tell you...those who are cribbing...will be left way behind from the rest.
