The prime minister said social crimes like unleashing beastly torture on the children and killing people or children in words have increased.
“When such a crime is committed, it’s video and information surface,” she said.
In this connection, Sheikh Hasina urged those involved in the media to show the picture of the rapist repeatedly.
“I’ll tell those involved in print and electronic media to show the picture of the rapist time and again so that he (rapist) feels shame for the offence,” she said.
The Leader of the House also called upon the male community alongside the womenfolk to be vocal against such a crime.
“Why only the females will protest against the rape. The matter is also a shame for the male community as they are committing such a crime. So they’ll have to be more vocal against it,” she said.
The prime minister in her speech also spoke about various issues like spreading of dengue, price hike of gas and age limit for the government jobs and the country’s development in various sectors.
She also highly praised the success of the Bangladesh cricket team in the ICC Cricket World Cup and the Bangladesh Parliament Team in the Parliamentary Cricket Tournament.
