AAP women's unit protests in Bengaluru, demands PM to resign

Bengaluru, NT Bureau: The Aam Aadmi Party's women's unit held a protest meeting in Freedom Park here on Saturday, demanding that PM Modi resign. Party State Organising Secretary BT Naganna, who participated in the protest, said that Modi had failed to suppress the violence that has been raging in the state of Manipur for the past three months.

"Instead of suppressing the class conflicts in the state of Manipur, the central government has the brutal policy of encouraging violence, thus engaging in vote-bank politics," Naganna said.

He pointed out that the perpetrators of the rape and parade of women in Manipur two months ago have still not been punished.

"The central government's strategy to cover up this incident is shameful," he added. He also demanded that the central government apologise to the people of India for suspending AAP MP Sanjay Singh for the entire term without discussing it in both houses of Parliament.
