New Delhi: Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh said on Tuesday that the State governments should be serious about the safety of women and it was not possible for the Centre to seek reports on every matter. He was responding to questions about the incident of mass molestation in Bengaluru during New Year celebrations.
“Protecting the modesty of women is the duty of the State governments,” he said.
Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju criticised Karnataka Home Minister G. Parameshwara for his comments that “these kinds of things do happen.” “I condemn the irresponsible comment made by the Karnataka home minister. City police should catch all the identified culprits and put them behind the bar,” he said on Twitter. In another tweet, he said: “We cannot allow the shameful act of #massmolestation to go unpunished. Bengaluru is a vibrant city and women’s safety is a must in a civilised society.”
