Amid anguish and outrage over the rape and murder of a Kolkata doctor and assault on two kindergarten girls in Maharashtra, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday underlined the need for swift justice in cases involving crime against women and said that it will give them greater assurance of their safety.
Modi also said the judiciary is considered a guardian of the Constitution, and that the Supreme Court and the judiciary have lived up to the responsibility.
Addressing the inaugural session of a national conference of the district judiciary in the presence of Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud, PM Modi referred to the "burning issue" of atrocities against women and safety of children and said it was a matter of serious concern.
Noting that stringent provisions have been made in laws for safety of women, he referred to the fast track special court scheme launched in 2019.
"The faster the verdict is delivered in cases of atrocities against women, the greater assurance half of the population will have about their safety," he said.
