NDA-INDIA Face-off At Parliament's Gandhi Statue Over Crimes Against Women | Read

The Centre and Opposition parties are at each other's throats again over crimes against women and the ethnic violence in Manipur. Several Opposition MPs have, for three consecutive working days now, submitted strongly-worded adjournment notices in both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha, while BJP MPs from Rajasthan have gathered near the Gandhi statue in the Parliament House premises to protest against the rising number of heinous crimes against women in the western state. MPs from the Opposition alliance INDIA have also gathered at the Gandhi statue, demanding Prime Minister Narendra Modi speak on the situation in Manipur. Top BJP leaders had earlier said Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who visited the northeastern state once amid the raging violence, would address the Parliament on the issue.
