New Delhi: A day after Congress president Rahul Gandhi held a candlelight vigil at India Gate, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Friday, broke his silence over the rape cases in Unnao and Kathua.

Speaking at the inauguration of Ambedkar National Memorial, the Prime Minister said the incident is ‘shameful’ and the culprits will not be spared.

“The incidents that are in discussion in the country for the last two days do not reflect good for any civilised country. This is shameful,” the Prime Minister said in his address after the nationwide protest over the incidents in Kathua in Jammu and Kashmit, and Uttar Pradesh’s Unnao.

Stating that the incident that ‘shook the humanity,’ Modi said everyone needs to join hands to remoce the evil from the society.

“Such incidents in any part of the country or a state shake our humanity. I want to assure the country that no culprit will escape. Justice will be done and it will be complete justice. The daughters will get justice. We all will have to join and remove this evil from the society.”

Several BJP leaders including Maneka Gandhi spoke about the incident.

“I have been deeply, deeply disturbed by the rape case in Kathua and all the recent rape cases that have happened to children. I and the (women and child development) ministry intend to bring an amendment to the POSCO Act asking for death penalty for rape of children below 12 years,” she said in a video released on Twitter.
