Actor-politician Kamal Haasan Friday wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi urging him to ensure that the anti-trafficking bill was taken up for discussion in the winter session of Parliament.
The Trafficking of Persons (Prevention, Protection and Rehabilitation) Bill, 2018 was passed by the Lok Sabha in July this year and was pending for discussion in Rajya Sabha, the Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) chief said.
Citing his recent interaction with a group of survivors of human trafficking, he said they had narrated "tales of deception, physical brutality and mental scar they must live with for their entire life."
