Rautela demanded that an impartial and timely investigation should be conducted into this entire matter and PM and Puri should resign from their posts on moral grounds till the investigation is completed,
“Transparency and accountability should be paramount in the country’s politics. If any person holding public office is implicated in such controversies, he should take moral responsibility and resign,’’ she said. Urmila Dhoundiyal Thapa, Asha Manorama Sharma and took part in the protest.
