NEW DELHI, Apr 20:
Expressing a feeling of shock and outrage over the rape of a five-year-old girl in Delhi, superstar Amitabh Bachchan has said people committing such crimes should be meted out justice by exposing them publicly.
“The horror of the latest crime of rape and then attempt to kill a little girl, leaves me numb and without voice! These evil beings are not fit to be called animals… Even animals have certain codes of conduct,” Mr Bachchan said in the latest post on his blog.
‘What is happening to us as a society, a community? Why and how are we succumbing to these atrocious and ghastly acts. Who are these people and where do they come from. Which mother gave birth to them, and how were they brought up.
Keeping them bound and confined shall not change them or their thinking. They need to be made examples of. They need to be shamed first publicly and then left to the public to deal them justice in which ever way they seem fit,” the actor said.
Mr Bachchan said such incidents had led to a feeling of insecurity in the country.
“We all are living in insecure times, where the fear of authority and the call of discipline and awareness is non-existent. We live on love and fresh air. And we hope that what befalls tragically on others, shall not befall us.
There seems to be complete vacuousness in how the situation needs to be dealt with. No one seems to have solutions, or worse, preventions. We wait till a deed happens and then get active on how to deal with the situation. We have no mechanism to pre-empt a situation. Whether it be a rape or a terrorist attack,” the actor said.(UNI)
