Trinamool Congress national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee has criticized the 'Beti Bachao' campaign led by the BJP, stating it has become a farce in states ruled by the party.
Banerjee's criticism was sparked by a recent Delhi High Court order that suspended the jail term of Kuldeep Singh Sengar, a former BJP MLA convicted in the 2017 Unnao rape case.
Furthermore, Banerjee condemned a video showing Uttar Pradesh minister Om Prakash Rajbhar making light of the survivor's protest at India Gate, highlighting a lack of response from BJP leadership to these issues.
