AIDWA, Delhi held a protest against increasing incidents of sex crimes on girls in "shelter homes". Recent happenings in Muzaffarpur and Deoria are indeed horrifying.

Scores of women marched from VPHouse right up to the entrance of Parliament House. Outraged women shouted slogans asking for resignations of Nitish and Yogi governments who have let loose their cronies and dare not bring them to justice. They also demanded " Modi sarkar gaddi chhodo" on the eve of of Aug 9 - Quit India Day because Modi"s Beti Bachao slogan has been a mere "jumla".
