The Congress' women wing on Friday organised a solidarity march against "rising" crimes on women in the country.
The protesters raising slogans marched from Mandi House to Jantar Mantar here.
"It is a unity march to walk in solidarity against the rising number of crimes against women and we hope that this issue is not seen as a political issue," saidSushmita Dev, president, All India Mahila Congress.
