India Political Highlights: Samajwadi Party workers hold candle march in Lucknow, UP over Manipur situation
After Anurag Thakur's tactics yesterday, to draw attention to the safety of women in states like Bengal, Bihar, and Rajasthan - all three ruled by opposition parties - instead of focusing on the Manipur horror, the Opposition has hit back with Chidambaram slamming the move. Bengal continues to be on edge with BJP alleging TMC goons killed a cloth trader in the Islampur area.
