President Droupadi Murmu's remarks comes amid outrage across the nation over crime against women
President Droupadi Murmu has raised concern over lack of support from the society to women survivors of targeted crimes against them. यह हमारे सामाजिक जीवन का एक दुखद पहलू है कि, कुछ मामलों में, साधन-सम्पन्न लोग अपराध करने के बाद भी निर्भीक और स्वच्छंद घूमते रहते हैं। जो लोग उनके अपराधों से पीड़ित होते हैं, वे डरे-सहमे रहते हैं, मानो उन्हीं बेचारों ने कोई अपराध कर दिया हो।
The President's remarks comes amid outrage across the nation over crime against women. The rape and murder of a junior doctor in a Kolkata hospital, and over a dozen cases of sexual harassment and rape filed against well-known actors in the Malayalam film industry, have sparked calls for a thorough relook at how India has been treating its women and girls.
"It is a sad aspect of our social life that even after committing a crime, the criminals roam around fearlessly. Those who are victims of their crimes live in fear as if their own thoughts have committed many crimes. The situation of women victims is even worse because even the people of society do not support them," President Murmu said in her valedictory address at the National Conference of the District Judiciary to mark 75 years of the Supreme Court.
