The MP urged the Minister and the NCW Chairperson to take strict action against individuals and groups running such hate and harassment campaigns.
He also called for full support and protection for conscientious women who bravely speak out against communal hatred and divisive rhetoric.
“Himanshi Narwal, who lost her husband in the Pahalgam terrorist attack, and Shaila Negi, who courageously stood up to a hateful mob in Nainital, are facing toxic social media propaganda and threats for calling out hate and advocating peace. This is deeply concerning,” he added.
