BJP to protest against female infanticide

Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI: The Bharatiya Janata Party's women's wing, Mahila Morcha, will stage a demonstration at Jantar Mantar here on Tuesday against female infanticide.

Mahila Morcha president Karuna Shukla on Monday said the laws were not being implemented strictly. Under social pressure, women continued to abort female foetuses and the sex ratio in some States had reached appalling levels. "We want to ... awaken the people's conscience and educate them about the dangers of a skewed sex ratio," she said.
