"Neeche utar jaaiye please (Please get down)... We request you, madam, please don't make this political," Tokyo Olympics bronze medallist Bajrang Punia told Ms Karat when she arrived at the venue, on the second day of the protest.
The Communist Party of India (Marxist) MP later told NDTV, "We are in the fight against any type of sexual harassment, anything which demeans any section of women. So, we are here to demand that the government take strong action."
