New Delhi: Nobel Peace laureate Kailash Satyarthi on Thursday said the Indian political class has failed the children of the country yet again as the Rajya Sabha failed to pass the anti-trafficking Bill. "The victims of trafficking were anxiously hoping for the passage of the anti-trafficking Bill in Rajya Sabha this time around, but their hopes were dashed. Children are not a political priority, this has been proved yet again," said Satyarthi, the founder of Bachpan Bachao Andolan.

He was speaking at the 25th Lal Bahadur Shastri Memorial Lecture on 'Safe Childhood, Safe India" at National Museum Auditorium in New Delhi.
