EC allots scissors symbol to Pappu Yadav
Former MP Rajesh Ranjan alias Pappu Yadav has not withdrawn his nomination for the Lok Sabha election from Bihar's Purnea seat despite being asked by Congress to take back his name.
Jan Adhikar Party chief and expelled RJD MP Pappu Yadav on Sunday said here that he will bring a private member’s bill in the next Parliament session regarding crime against women.
“I will bring a private member’s bill in the Lok Sabha to ensure freedom of women from oppression, molestation and harassment,” Yadav said.
He said that he would propose that those accused of rape, molestation and oppression of women, if charge-sheeted, would not be allowed to contest elections or hold constitutional posts.
