After Nirbhaya’s brutal gang rape case that happened in Delhi December last year, the whole country has again come in distress mode with the cruel rape case of a five-year-old- girl in Delhi. The heartrending news is not just making masses feel poignant but everyone is irked over this inhuman activity.

Bollywood actress and owner of IPL team-Kings XI Punjab, Preity Zinta also came out venting out her anger on social media. She is very perturbed by the growing incidents of rape in the country and said Indians have a very short memory which is what leads to escalating crimes against women including rape.

She says, “We have this whole thing in India about reacting for a very short period of time. We have such short memories. When an incident happens, we react, create jams and protests and we forget about it all and go home and sleep.” Not stopping at that, Preity terms rape also a form of terrorism. "This (crime against women) is also terrorism, it is domestic terrorism and these culprits unleash terror on women,” she stated.

She also added that she doesn't think the drops for the rising crimes are the responsibility of the government or the police alone. “Half the time we blame the police for lack of action. But that's not true. The awareness for stopping these crimes has to come from within each one of us. We as citizens have to wake up to the fact that we have to take action to stop this. This really bothers me a lot. And somewhere even we as women have to take responsibility for saying this is enough,” she said.

Well, you surely have a valid point Preity!
