NEW DELHI: A study conducted by Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) on "Human Trafficking on Indo-Nepal border" claims the number of victims trafficked into the country from Nepal has gone up by 500% since 2013.

The girls trafficked from villages and Terai region of Nepal sold to brothel owners in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and other cities for up to Rs 50,000.

In 2013, 108 girls/children were rescued at Indo-Nepal border, while 607 such victims were rescued in 2017.

SSB, which calls Nepal the “source” country for most of the trafficking of children and women to India, sys they are then forced into prostitution or pushed into domestic help or other forms of exploitative labour, and in a few cases their organs are illegally harvested.

According to a Times of India report, the traffickers, men (often called 'dalals') and women ('didis,' who are sex workers themselves), bring the girls aged 9 to 16 - to border towns before they are brought to India by bus. Near the border, professional agents who lure the girls for selling in the brothels are paid up to Rs 6,000 for every child. Apart from the 'didis,' SSB says, sometimes family members also act as traffickers. The girls are coached to conceal their true age in case they are stopped and questioned by the police.

New Delhi: In a recent interview titled "Jab We Met," Rahul Kanwal of India Today engaged in a conversation with Kanhaiya Kumar, the Congress-AAP alliance candidate from the North East Delhi constituency. As they strolled through the streets of North East Delhi, Kanahiya’s adept responses dismantled Kanwal's biased questioning. 

 

Throughout the interview, Kanwal's line of questioning appeared to lean heavily towards praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi, showcasing his support rather than challenging it. However, Kanhaiya skillfully dismantled this bias, particularly highlighting the role of the Congress party in shaping online money transfer systems.

 

In a notable exchange, Kanwal attempted to dismiss a local vendor's concerns about reduced business post-Covid by saying that you are standing outside the Congress campaign office and hence you will say so. However Kanhaiya immediately countered and stated that he had opened the campaign office 14 days back but the vendor was there from the past 14 years. Further Kanhaiya made Kanwal pay the vendor through UPI, a move that visibly surprised the interviewer. To this Rahul who is fond of and used to living at the expense of the politicians of whom he sings praises is seen saying that this is the first time that any leader is making me pay as normally leaders are the one's paying.

 

Kanwal's interview with Kanhaiya made the netizens ask some very sharp questions on the integrity of the media in India. 

 

One user tweeted, “

“PROPAGANDA EXPOSED 

Rahul Kanwal was interviewing Kanhaiya Kumar and praising Narendra Modi for UPI payments.

Kanhaiya torn apart his propaganda in just 40 seconds and explained how Congress shaped online money transfer. 

Shameless @rahulkanwal was batting for BJP in whole interview like normal Godi anchor. 

Well done #KanhaiyaKumar  ” 

 

Another tweeted, Shame on @rahulkanwal, he is literally insulting and doubting a poor vendor just because he said business has gone down due to factories in the neighborhood closing post-Covid
