‘We must prioritise women’s safety’
Aamir Khan, who does his bit to bring social change in the country via his show Satyamev Jayate, is disturbed over the sexual assault on a young woman in Delhi. He stressed upon the need for fast track courts to dispense quick justice in these cases. “What has happened in Delhi is really unfortunate. Each time I read something like this, my heart bleeds. It is really sad,” Aamir, who is known to raise society's issues in Satyamev Jayate, said.
“If we want the rate of such incidents to come down, then one of the important things we need to do is that we should facilitate a high rate of conviction. In the cases of crime against women or children, the first thing we have to do is to have fast track courts,” he added.
