In a recent interaction with the media, the BJP MLA was speaking about rape cases on the rise in the country.Singh was of the opinion that rapes around us can be stopped if daughters are inculcated with "good values". He gave the statement, "Incidents like these can be stopped with help of good values, na shashan se na talwar se. All parents should teach their daughters good values. It's only the combination of government & good values that can make a country beautiful.
