John Abraham has joined hands with Fever 104 campaign 'Fever Voice of Change' and met the acid attack survivors who will be rehabilitated under one of the campaigns called 'Mission Tezaab', in New Delhi.

Speaking at the event, the 'Madras Cafe' star said, "The political leaders should be are public figures and their statement makes a huge difference", adding that they should be extremely careful before making any statement on women safety as they have great influence on the society.

"It's very important to respect a woman, but we men tend to forget that. So, it is very important that parents should teach their sons to be courteous towards them. The way a father treats his wife, his son also follows the same", he added.

The 'Dostana' actor plans to use the power of media to reach out to the concerned authorities and in order to get a closure to problems plaguing the society. (ANI)
