The Trinamool Congress (TMC) in West Bengal is protesting against the central government for delaying approval of the Aparajita Women and Child Bill, which was passed by the state assembly in September. The bill, aimed at imposing severe punishments for rape and aligning with the new penal code, was sent to President Droupadi Murmi for approval by Governor CV Ananda Bose. TMC leaders demand immediate action, arguing that justice for victims of heinous crimes cannot be delayed.
