As many people will be celebrating Father's Day this Sunday, the Shri Sanatan Dharam believes a father plays a very important role in molding his children to become good citizens.

General Secretary Vijendra Prakash said nowadays many fathers are not that strict and understanding and as a result their children start smoking, drinking alcohol, taking marijuana and committing serious crimes.

Prakash added it’s a concern that some fathers themselves commit serious offences and crimes like indecent assault and rape.
