New Delhi, April 28: Making an emotional appeal to save the girl child, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh gave his own example that he was a proud father of three daughters.

Inaugurating the National Meeting of 'Save the Girl Child', Singh urged every citizen to come forward and empower her in every possible way.

"The action must begin at home, in our families, in our communities. I do not say this as the Prime Minister of India. I say this as the proud father of three daughters," he said.

"I wish for every girl in our country what I wish for my own daughters," he said.

Among the three, the Prime Minister's youngest daughter Amrit Singh is a lawyer in the United States and has taken on the Bush administration over its policies on more than one occasion.
