Congress walks out from Chhattisgarh house on trafficking
New Delhi News.Net
Thursday 18th March, 2010
Chhattisgarh's main opposition Congress party staged a walkout Thursday from the state assembly, charging the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government with failure to stop human trafficking.
Raising the issue, Congress leader and former home minister Nandkumar Patel alleged that placement agencies were involved in human trafficking of girls and boys in large scale in the state's poverty-hit interiors and the government had failed to rein them in.
He said placement agencies and agents were supplying girls and boys of poor families in metros in the name of providing them jobs as domestic help, but in reality they were subjected to sexual abuse and harassment.
The Congress party members walked out when the BJP ministers rejected the charges and contended that the state government was tough in dealing with human trafficking.
