PM Modi
New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has expressed concern over the increasing crimes against women in the country. Addressing the nation, Prime Minister Modi said that I want to express my pain from the Red Fort today. We have to think seriously. The general public is angry at the atrocities being committed against our mothers, sisters and daughters. The country, society and our state governments have to take this seriously. Crimes against women should be investigated as soon as possible.
PM Modi called rapists demons
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that I would also like to tell the society that when there are incidents of rape and atrocities on women, there is a wide discussion on it, but when a person with such demonic tendencies is punished, it is not seen in the news, rather it is limited to one corner. The need of the hour is that there should be a wide discussion on those who get punishment so that those who commit such sins understand that this leads to hanging, I think it is very important to create this fear.
The government did many things for women
Addressing the nation from the Red Fort, PM Modi said that in the past years, we have worked on a women-led development model. Women are making strides in every field, women are providing leadership. Be it our Air Force, Army, Navy or our space sector, we are seeing the strength of women everywhere.
Appreciation of women empowerment
Prime Minister Modi praised women empowerment while addressing the nation from the ramparts of the Red Fort on the occasion of 78th Independence Day. He said that about 10 crore new women have joined self-help groups and have become an integral part of the family decision-making process and are contributing to bringing about widespread social change. PM Modi said that we are proud to see that women are becoming economically self-reliant. He said that when women become self-reliant, they participate in the decision-making process of the family and this will ensure significant social change.
Women are becoming Lakhpati Didi
PM Modi underlined a similarity between the global success of Indian Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) and the achievements of women in these self-help groups, saying that while our CEOs are getting global recognition, one crore women are becoming Lakhpati Didi. He also said that the government has decided to allocate Rs 10 lakh to 20 lakh to these groups. Modi said that so far Rs 9 lakh crore has been made available to help our women self-help groups. With this help, they are expanding their many financial works.
