Roopa Ganguly raises uproar in RS on raising of child trafficking issue by Cong member

New Delhi, Mar 16 (UNI) Roopa Ganguly today raised an uproar in the Rajya Sabha after Congress member Rajani Patil raised the issue of the child trafficking racket in West Bengal. Soon after Ms Patil raised the issue during Zero Hour, Ms Ganguly charged the Congress member with referring to her in her Zero Hour mention and sought time from Deputy Chairman P J Kurien to speak on the issue. She even trooped into the Well to protest on the issue. However, she returned to her seat after Minister of State for Parliamentary affairs Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi asked her to do so. Responding to the objections by Ms Ganguly , the Deputy Chairman said if the name of any member of the House had been taken directly or indirectly, it would be expunged from the records. Ms Ganguly’s name has appeared in the media in connection with a child trafficking racket at a children's home in West Bengal. Those arrested in this case are BJP women's wing leader Juhi Chowdhury.
