"Every time in our country... it is always
the woman who is questioned. The person who is committing these crimes is also
someone's son... The rape of a (daughter) is a matter of worry, a shame for the
country," PM Modi said during an interaction with the Indian community at
London's iconic Central Hall Westminster.
The PM was met by hundreds of protesters as he arrived in London today. The protesters displayed photos of the eight-year-old girl from a nomadic Muslim community in Kathua, who was raped and murdered in January, allegedly by a group that included policemen and a former government official.
PM Modi had last week said that justice will be done and no criminal will be spared, referring to the rape cases that has sparked outrage across India.
