PMC to grill govt on women harassment cases


Raipur, July 06, 2012

Pradesh Mahila Congress (PMC) will now take on the ruling BJP on women harassment cases. A decision in this regard has been taken by the PMC during a meeting convened by organisation’s state president Ambika Markam at Congress Bhawan on Friday.
Markam said the women in the state were unsafe under BJP regime. “The women harassment cases have sharply increased in the past eight years. Such cases are more prominent in the BJP stronghold areas.
