'Beti Bachao...' Congress condemns viral video
As the CCTV footage went viral on social media, Congress condemned the incident and and wrote, “In Madhya Pradesh’s Mandsaur, 4 office-bearers of the ABVP, a student wing affiliated with the BJP, were caught secretly recording videos of female students while they were changing clothes at a government college. Their disgraceful act was captured on CCTV cameras. This shameful incident exposes the true conduct and character of the BJP. On one hand, the BJP talks about women’s safety and respect, yet on the other, its own members are involved in acts that violate women’s dignity….They should be ashamed.”
