Revanth moves adjournment motion on gang-rapes

Hyderabad: Telangana Member of Parliament, A Revanth Reddy, has moved an adjournment motion in Lok Sabha seeking discussion on the heinous crimes on women in different parts of the country, which he said ‘raised straight forward questions on the safety of women in the country’.
