President Ram Nath Kovind on Wednesday broke his silence on the Kathua rape case during his two-day visit to Jammu and Kashmir and said that such incidents occurring in India post independence are "shameful".

"How can someone do such a cruel thing to a small girl who is a manifestation of Mata Vaishno Devi, there is something wrong with the society", she said. "We have to decide what kind of a society we are developing into", the President said at the sixth convocation of the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University at Katra town.

The rape of the eight-year-old nomad girl in Kathua, 70 years into Independence, had shamed the nation, Mr Kovind added.
