Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday urged people to fight social evils like corruption and filthiness, saying they too are multi-headed like Ravana, the demon king.
Addressing a gathering here on the occasion of Dussehra, Modi said one must destroy all evils from within.
"Social evils like corruption, filthiness and others are like Ravana... they are to be done away with," he said.
He also called upon people to save the girl child and said that there should not be any discrimination against them.
"To-be born Sitas in our families are to be saved and protected," he said, reminding people how country's daughters made India proud in the Rio Olympics.
