Honour killings bring disgrace, disrepute to country: Chidambaram
PTI, Aug 1, 2010, 12.45am IST
MADURAI: Condemning honour killings, Union home minister P Chidambaram
on Saturday said such things only brought disgrace and disrepute to
the country.
"Such (honour) killings only brought disgrace and disrepute to the
country...In some places parents removed their children from schools
if the mid-day meal is cooked by dalits...What use will the country's
nine per cent economic growth or the foreign exchange reserve of $300
billion if social atrocities like untouchability continued in the
country," he said at the birth centenary celebrations of Congress
leader P Kakkan here.
"India will get real independence only if social evils are eradicated
from the heart," he said.
