AIPWA General Secretary Meena Tiwari, Bihar State President Saroj Chaube, State Secretary Shashi Yadav and State Joint Secretary Anita Sinha condemned the arrest of women and obstruction by the police of peaceful dharnas organized by women’s organizations on 16 December. They demanded that the police and administration should concentrate on curbing rapists and criminals and not spend their energy in repressing protests. The more they repress protests, the more the protests will grow and spread.
The leaders demanded that the demands of the protesters against rape should be fulfilled without delay.
AIPWA has appealed to women to come out in large numbers on the streets and make the Bihar Bandh called by Left parties on 19 December against NRC and CAB a resounding success.
