ALL India Progressive Women’s Association (AIPWA) organized a protest in Patna demanding resignation of Bihar CM Nitish Kumar in light of the orders issued by the POCSO court to investigate Nitish Kumar in the Muzaffarpur shelter home case. The march began from CPIML office and reached Dakbunglow Chowraha where it culminated into a public meeting. The march was led by National General Secretary of AIPWA, Meena Tiwari, Patna city secretary Anita Sinha, comrades Samta Rai, Vibha Gupta and others women leaders. Several women participated in the march.
Addressing the march, Meena Tiwari said that the entire Bihar knows that without political patronage and protection, the sexual harassment and torture of girls in the Muzaffarpur shelter homes could not have taken place. However, the CBI has been trying to shield the real criminals even till now. Even the reprimands by the Supreme Court have had no effect. Now that court have issued orders for investigation against Nitish Kumar, he has no right to stay on as CM. She said that AIPWA and other women organizations had exposed this case and now again they will launch a movement demanding resignation of Nitish Kumar.
