Mangalore: State Mahila Congress president Manjula Reddy along with other members burnt a copy of the interim report submitted by her namesake C Manjula, head of Karnataka State Women's Commission (KSWC) on Morning Mist home stay incident, repoted local media.

According to reports, Manjula Reddy demanded that SWC chief should be removed from her post immediately and the report submitted by her should be withdrawn. "We will launch a state-wide agitation if Women's Commission report, which blamed home stay victims and their parents, is not withdrawn," she said, adding that a picketing protest will be held in front of SWC's office in Bangalore.

"We have brought the issue of SWC submitting a contradictory and false report on home stay attack to the notice of Central Women's Commission (CWC) chairperson Mamta Sharma. CWC is expected to arrive in the city to hold an independent inquiry soon after studying the report submitted by SWC," she added.
