New Delhi ; Prime Minister Narendra Modi Sunday said dignity of women in the country was a collective responsibility and there should be no compromise on that.
“Dignity of women is our collective responsibility. There should be no compromise. There should be no erosion in the law and order situation. Family culture is important,” he said in an exclusive interview to CNN’s Fareed Zakaria.
Modi said the main thing for India was education for the girl child.
“By doing so, the possibility of empowerment of women would increase,” he said, adding that the government had on Aug 15 proposed a movement for this.
The prime minister also said that political pundits should abstain from making statements, trying to search for answers to such issues.
“More damage is done by statements from political pundits,” he said.
