The rally, which was attended by several activists, was organised by Civil Society Women Organisation and the Thma U Rangli here.
"You should seek the immediate resignation of your Home Minister HDR Lyngdoh to ensure an independent enquiry into this case, as the guest house owned by his immediate family was the place where the minor girl was trafficked and assaulted twice," conveners of the rally Agnes Kharshiing and Angela Rangad said in a memorandum to the Chief Minister.
Other demands placed before the Chief Minister included setting up of fast track/special courts in all districts to ensure speedy and time bound justice to victims of violence and trafficking.
The sex racket came to light last month after the 14-year-old victim was rescued from the guest house of the Home Minister's son and one of its employee was arrested.
