We must do more than just condemning violence against women: Priyanka Gandhi

Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Sunday expressed shock and outrage at the Hyderabad and Sambhal rape-and-murder cases and insisted that the society must do more than just orally condemning the "abhorrent manner in which women are being brutalised on a daily basis".

"I have been so deeply disturbed by the savage rape and murder of the young veterinarian in Hyderabad and the teenage girl in Sambhal that no words are enough to express my outrage," she wrote on her Twitter handle.

"As a society, we have to do far more than just speak up when these horrific incidents take place," she added.

The Congress leader further said: "Our mindsets have to be jolted into changing, into rejecting violence, into refusing to accept the abhorrent manner in which women are being brutalised on a daily basis."
