Sagar (Madhya Pradesh): Minister for civil supplies Govind Singh Rajpur has said the girls are the gift of God. The minister made the statement at a Ladli Lakshmi Utsav on Friday. MP Lata Wankhede and officials of the district administration were present on the occasion.

Once the birth of a daughter was considered a curse, but the awareness campaign launched by the government changed the views of the people about the girls, the minister said. The girls are flying fighter aircraft and fighting legal battles as lawyers in the Supreme Court and the high courts across the country.
