Voicing similar concerns, Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde said no society can progress without respecting women.
"No country can progress unless they treat their women with respect. Unfortunately we continue to read about heinous crime committed on women," Shinde said.
He said though government has taken steps by amending law, further steps need to be taken by the society.
"Further action needs to be taken by society so that we can deal with the root cause... we also need to change the attitude of the society," he said.
