'Our Tradition & Responsibility to Give Opportunities to Daughters': Prez Droupadi Murmu at News18 Event
News 18It is our tradition and responsibility to give respect and proper opportunities to our daughters and sisters, President Droupadi Murmu emphasised on Friday as she graced Network18’s ‘Rising India – She Shakti’ event in New Delhi to acknowledge, honour and celebrate women achievers. Addressing the gathering, the President said today, when our country has entered ‘Amrit Kaal’, organising such an event to acknowledge, honour and celebrate women achievers is very relevant. Noting that respect for women has been the basis of our culture, Murmu said: “There is much evidence in our tradition that whenever women have been insulted, the whole society has united to condemn such misdeeds and the culprits have been punished.” She added that some unfortunate incidents happen even today and are “completely against our eternal value of respect for women”. Murmu expressed confidence that “empowered by our system which is imbued with the value of respecting women and the spirit of justice for women, our Nari-Shakti will keep moving ahead”.
