The Congress' women wing on Friday organised a solidarity march against "rising" crimes on women in the country. The protesters raising slogans marched from Mandi House to Jantar Mantar here.

"It is a unity march to walk in solidarity against the rising number of crimes against women and we hope that this issue is not seen as a political issue," said Sushmita Dev, president, All India Mahila Congress. The march was aimed at boosting the voice of women at a time when they are facing crimes, she said.
