Security of women is govt’s top priority, says PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said that in the last 10 years, his government has given top priority to women’s security, and amended laws to introduce capital punishment for heinous crimes like rape.

Addressing a huge gathering at Vansi Borsi village in Navsari district on International Women’s Day Modi said that India was



walking on the path of women-led development.

“When a girl returns (home) late, her parents ask questions, but they don’t do the same when a boy comes late…they should do it. In the past decade, we have given women’s safety and security the highest priority and to stop crimes against women, we have changed rules and laws,” he said.
