"I don't think there can be a single person in the country who wasn't outraged by the RG Kar (Kolkata rape-murder case involving a trainee doctor) incident. You can see that on the streets," said Jaishankar while speaking with the Indian diaspora in Geneva on Friday.
He said women's safety is an issue in the country. "I am reminded in a way of something Prime Minister Narendra Modi said from the ramparts of Red Fort: he said we say things to our daughters, but do we do that to our sons? There are so many aspects to this problem.
It starts with respect and equality. What is happening angers us," said Jaishankar.
He also said that India has spearheaded women-led development and this was brought to the forefront during the G20 Summit in Delhi last year.
