Childish Folly

On what grounds can a people's reprehensive, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister, Babulal Gaur make the comment that child marriage cannot be stopped? Is he himself aware of the misgivings associated with the inhuman practice of child marriage? It seems that he himself covertly endorses such incidents as chopping off a hand of a government activist seeking to create mass apathy against the evil that child marriage is. Perhaps India needs great souls like Ishwarchandra Vidyasagar and Ram Mohan Roy to be reborn to set the societal set-up on the right track. Again there should be public interest litigations against irresponsible public leaders like Mr. Gaur for making such callous statements.
