RSP under NHRC scrutiny over underage party members

The constitutional watchdog seeks clarification after the party reported over 35,000 members under 18. The party says it was a technical error.

The National Human Rights Commission has initiated an inquiry into reports that the Rastriya Swatantra Party enrolled minors as party members. In a letter to the party, the constitutional human rights watchdog has asked it to clarify whether it inducted children below the age of 18 as party members.
