New Delhi: Amid the opposition cornering the Bhartiya Janta Party government at the Centre over the Manipur ethnic violence, the BJP MPs from Rajasthan on Monday staged a protest outside the Parliament House against what they termed “rising atrocities and crime against women” in the state. The BJP MPs also accused the Ashok Gehlot government of “oppression” on Dalits in the state.
Talking to the news agency ANI on the occasion, BJP MP Rajyavardhan Rathore said that women's safety “whether it is any state or across the globe is of paramount importance”. “PM Modi's govt has done a lot for women's safety starting from creating 11 crore toilets. He has also brought behavioral change in the country. There is a law that there will be a death penalty in case of rapes under 12 years and fast track courts have been set up which have been funded by the govt of India," Rathore said.
