Keep errant sons indoors, ensure freedom for women: Kejriwal's I-Day msg

August 15, 2017 16:44

Justice has to be certain and swift in order to tackle crime against women, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said today, advising politicians to

keep their "errant sons" indoors instead of imposing restrictions on women.

Kejriwal said governments should ensure freedom for women instead of imposing restrictions on them. A politician's son, guilty of such crimes, should be awarded double the punishment as stipulated in statute books, he said.

"Son of a very influential leader was recently caught for committing crime against women. Another leader commented that women should not venture out at night. I wish to slap that leader," Kejriwal said, adding that such politicians should instead keep their sons indoors if they can't keep them under control.

"The most important thing in such cases is deterrence. There should be certainty and swiftness when it comes to punishment. Now when a politician's son commits any such crime, the entire system comes together to shield him," he said.
