Fast-track cases of rapes of minors: Rahul to PM Modi
Amid public outrage over Kathua and Unnao rape cases, Congress President Rahul Gandhi asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday to fast-track cases of rapes of minors and punish the guilty if he was serious about providing justice to the country's daughters. Gandhi pointed out, there were as many as 19,675 cases of rapes of minor children in 2016, terming them as "shameful".

Modi said accused will not be spared in both rapes
Rahul's remarks come days after PM Modi said the guilty in Kathua and Unnao incidents would not be spared and India's daughters will get justice. Expressing anguish over the two incidents which have triggered widespread outrage, the Prime Minister had said such crimes challenge the very concept of social justice "and as a society and a country we all are ashamed of it."
