LS debates over West Bengal gangrape
Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury has raised the issue of gangrape of the nun in the House.
"Why no arrests made in the case so far?," Chowdhury said.
"Playing blame games over issues like the one in Hisar or in West Bengal is not the solution to the problem... These are the incidents which should be condemned. We cannot blame the government. Moreover, it is not the Centre's responsibility to interfere in law and order matters of a state," Union Minister Venkaiah Naidu said in the house.
