Expressing concern over the law and order situation in the State, Mittal said women and girls are not secured and incidents of rape and gang-rape are taking place every day.

Mittal alleged that rampant corruption is taking place in the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MNREG) in Madhya Pradesh and the State regime is misusing the Central funds.
Mittal, who also undertook visit in Karnataka, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan, said that the lawyers of Madhya Pradesh will launch a State-wide agitation soon against the ruling the BJP Government.
