Change patriarchal mindset: Tuki
ITANAGAR, Sep 15: Former chief minister Nabam Tuki stressed on the need to change the patriarchal mindset of the society.
Tuki said this while speaking at a function organised here on Saturday to celebrate the 35th foundation day of the Mahila Congress.

APCC president Takam Sanjoy while lauding the contributions of the Mahila Congress called on its members to show zero tolerance towards any atrocities against women, “as nobody is above the law.”
APMCC president Nabam Yakum called for enhancement of women’s reservation from 33% to 50%.
