Expressing profound concern over incidents of rape and violence against women, the PM said he can feel the outrage of people. "Today, from the Red Fort, I want to express my pain. As a society, we will have to think seriously about the atrocities against our mothers, sisters, and daughters. There is anger among common people because of this. I can feel that rage," he said.
