‘If corruption is glorified…’
PM Narendra Modi said, “The efforts that are going on to sow this type of bias in the society, the continuous efforts that are going on to increase the acceptance of the corrupt, have become a big challenge and a matter of concern for the society. If corruption When corruption is glorified, even those who do not commit corruption feel that it has become a color of prestige in the society.”
‘It is necessary to create fear among sinners’
PM Modi said that I would also like to say that whenever incidents of rape or atrocities against women occur, it is widely discussed. But when a person with such demonic tendencies is punished, it is not in the news but remains limited to one corner. The need of the hour is that there should be a comprehensive discussion on those who are punished so that those who commit sins understand that this leads to death sentence. I think it is very important to create this fear.”
