Speaking during the discussion on Governor’s address, INlD’s Naina Singh Chautala slammed the State Government for increasing incidents of crime against women and demanded to increase quota of women police from 10 percent to 50 per cent in Haryana.
She alleged that BJP only gave slogan of Beti Bachao Beti Padhao but did nothing in this regard in the past one year.
Referring to the incident of sexual assault of a woman in a hospital's intensive care unit at Bahadurgarh, she said that women security should be ensured in the state. Naina Chautala also demanded reservation for women for providing them employment opportunities in the state. INlD’s MlA Zakir Hussain also raised the issue of lack of education and health facilities for women in the state and requested the State Government to look into the issue.
