Expressing his frustration over nations law and order, the well-acclaimed lyricist-writer strongly feels that its high time the judicial system takes immediate action against criminals for such cruel acts.
"Firstly respect and admiration for the young girl who had the courage to go ahead and report the wrong that was done. Now, as a society and its institutions - be it the Police, Law and justice - we need to ensure that the criminals are severely punished,- stated Joshi.
He also believes that even people has to change their outlook towards women. "At the same time ground-breaking efforts have to be made to ensure that a social change is brought about in our thinking, attitude, traditional practices and behaviour towards women of our society.
Whilst this kind of deep change will take time to show results in the meanwhile the Law and administration has to take exemplary strong steps. No tolerance policy has to be applied to crimes against women. Our society is ill. And the Law enforcement and Administration cannot just stand and watch it fall apart," added Joshi further.
For the records, the Bhaag Milkha Bhaag famed scriptwriter frequently writes columns and is an active speaker on platforms such as the Jaipur Literature festival where he has spoken in Support of women and decried the chauvinistic and misogynist male psyche.
