Gandhi in a post on social media platform X said, “The continuously increasing crimes against women and the attitude of the police administration towards the victim and her family is a proof of the cruelty of the system and is a matter of serious concern for the country.”
Propaganda-centric governments have given birth to an insensitive system to create a false image of themselves, the biggest victims of which are women, he said further.
“The time has come to make serious efforts towards the moral upliftment of the society for the safety of women – strict steps should be taken at every social, political and administrative level.”
Gandhi said, “Better citizens give birth to better systems, and better systems create a better society.”
