"We will reform 'majnu-type' of people. They don't know how to respect. They are not good for the civilised society. A campaign will be launched against majnus," the chief minister said.
He also said an amendment to the criminal law providing death penalty for raping a minor would be introduced in the Assembly soon. "A bill providing death sentence for rape of minors would be presented in the coming monsoon session (of Assembly). Once it is passed, it would be forwarded to the President for assent."
