PM advocates for discussions on Capital Punishment

PM stressed on the need to carry out extensive discussions on punishments given to the convicts inorder to potentially understand that such crimes lead to capital punishment.

PM also pointed out that when acts of violence against women happen, it leads to a lot of media discussions. However, when punishments are given to the perpetrators, media probably doesn’t show it much.
