AKHNOOR, Jan 15 : Minister for Health, Horticulture & Floriculture Sham Lal Sharma has sought support of cross sections of the society to curb the menace of female foeticide. He said Government has been trying its level best to keep a check on this inhuman crime, but entire society has to come forward and contribute in this social cause. Describing female foeticide a great sin, which cannot be forgiven by any Universe Court, the Minister said that the people indulging in this practice should get severest punishment. If the culprits will go scot free in the Court of human beings, but they will not escape from the Court of Almighty God. He aid nobody has right to kill an infant before taking birth and this needs to be condemned by one and all. All right thinking people should come out against this crime and supplement Government efforts at different level, he added.
Addressing a large gathering of men and women at a religious function held at village Panjgrain, a remotest corner of Akhnoor today, the Minister advocated for moral education to the children so that they can carry forward the rich ethos and culture of Dogra.

He said need of the hour is to save the younger generation from various social evils, drug and other abuses which are eating the vitals of the society.
