New Delhi: Expressing serious concern over rape incidents, the Prime Minister said, "our heads hang in shame when we hear about such incidents" and attacked politicians who become "psychologists" by trying to "analyse" reasons for the crime.
"In every home, parents interrogate their daughters about where they are going and what they are doing. But do they ask the same thing to their sons? Rapists are also somebody's sons. He also has parents. If only restrictions are also put
on sons, there will be no rapists, no maoists and no terrorists.
"Law will do its work but the society has also to contribute," Modi said, adding it is the social duty of parents.
Modi said every terrorist and maoist is somebody's son who is bent on spilling blood.
"Instead of carrying a gun on his shoulder and make the land red, they (maoists and terrorists) should carry a plough and make the land green," he said.
He also expressed concern over the skewed sex ratio and deplored the practice of foeticide and the attitude of doctors to make money by doing so.
Calling himself an "outsider" to Delhi, the former Gujarat Chief Minister said in two months of coming to power, he has got an "insider view" in the functioning of the government.
Making it clear that his comments should be not be seen from a political prism, Modi said he was "surprised" to see that "within a government, there were dozens of governments."
"People used to consider departments as their personal fiefdom. I saw there was disintegration and fights between departments. These fights landed up in the Supreme Court. How can you go forward in this situation?
"I have started demolishing these walls to ensure that the government is one entity. The government has to move with one idea, one direction and one view," he said.
