Yoga guru Swami Ramdev has welcomed the death sentence awarded to the four men in the Nirbhaya gang rape and murder case. On Tuesday, Ramdev said that with the four convicts being sentenced to death, their execution will serve as a deterrent for anyone with similar tendencies.
Stating that Nirbhaya had suffered fear and pain and that he hopes that no woman suffers like her, he said that fast track courts should be set up in every state for dealing with such cases so that those convicted can be punished swiftly. He said, “Such heinous crimes against women are a matter of shame for the whole nation.
I have heard of other similar crimes too. I also appeal to the parents to give good moral lessons to their children so that the sons learn to respect the daughters. It is the responsibility of parents to impart such moral values.” Referring to recent violence at Jawaharlal Nehru University as shameful, Ramdev said that Government and police administration should take immediate action against those who carried out the violence.
He also expressed concern at JNU becoming a hub of politics. Students who have carried out recent incident in university should be expelled, he said.
