Introduction of The Menstruation Benefit Bill, 2017

Ninong Ering moved a Private Members' Bill, 'The Menstruation Benefit Bill, 2017', which proposed that women working in the public and private sectors get two days of paid menstrual leave every month. The Bill also sought to provide better facilities for rest at the workplace during menstruation. [5] The bill triggered a nationwide debate and brought India in the list of countries like Italy, South Korea, Japan where the law existed or was debated. Ering also asked a question on whether the government has any plan to propose menstrual leave at the workplace. In its reply, the Ministry of Women and Child Development said there was no such proposal and also the ministry did not have any plan for a legislation on the issue. The Ministry, however, listed a number of awareness efforts for adolescent girls. Ninong Ering in his interview to The BloombergQuint congratulated his entire team and thanked his PRS Legislative Research [6] LAMP Fellows for working on the bill. This initiative gained a nationwide support and Ninong Ering received applause from a number of women activists organisations.

Criticism of Swami Ramdev

On 19 February 2011, Ninong Ering allegedly criticised the anti-corruption drive of Indian religious leader Swami Ramdev and referred to him as a "bloody dog". [7] The Bharatiya Janata Party criticised the remarks, stating that Ramdev was a revered figure and further if Mr. Ering did not consider himself to be Indian then he should excuse himself from the Indian Parliament. [8] The Congress party claimed that it had asked for explanation from Ering on this matter. [7]
