Alumni of various prominent institutions have written to President Ram Nath Kovind, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Members of Parliament, drawing their attention to rising incidents of crime against women in the country, and have called upon the leaders to condemn such actions and initiate steps to protect rights and dignity of all women.
The letter has been written in the backdrop of recent incidents like Sulli Deals and Bulli Bai. "They are manifestations of the culture that target women, for daring to have a voice of their own," the letter Said.
