Kanpur:Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Friday lambasted the state government, which issued her a notice for her recent comments based on media reports that two girls were found pregnant at a child shelter home in the state.
“Jo bhi karyawahi karna chahte hain beshak kare. Main sacchai samne rakhti rahoongi. Main Indira Gandhi ki poti hoon, kuch vipaksha ke netaon ki tarah Bharatiya Janata Party ki aghoshit prawakta nahi (Whatever action they want, they can take.
I will keep putting forth the truth. I am Indira Gandhi’s granddaughter, not an undeclared BJP spokesperson like some of the opposition leaders),” she tweeted in Hindi on Friday. The Congress leader is at present general secretary in-charge UP East.
In other tweet she said, “Janta ke ek sewak ke roop mein, mera kartavya UP ki Janta ke prati hai, aur woh kartavya saccha ko unke samne rakhne ka hai. Kisi sarkari propaganda ko aage rakhna nahi hai. UP Sarkar apne anya Vibhago dwara mujhe fizool ki dhamkiya dekar apna samay vyarth kar rahi hai (As a public servant, my duty is towards the people of state (Uttar Pradesh). And this duty is to put out the truth before them and not to put forth government propaganda. The state government is wasting its time by threatening me through its various departments.”)
To recall, the Uttar Pradesh child rights panel had issued a notice to Priyanka Gandhi asking her to reply within three days for her “misleading comments” on the Kanpur shelter home.
To recall, on Sunday, the Congress leader on Facebook citing media reports stated that 57 girls tested positive for coronavirus at the state-run child shelter home in Kanpur, with two girls being “found” pregnant.
She had stated that incident was reminiscent of the Muzaffarpur shelter home case in Bihar, where cases of alleged sexual abuse were reported.
The state child rights panel on Thursday had issued a notice to Gandhi, asking her to file a reply within three days for her “misleading” comments on the shelter home.
The Congress leader has also been asked to issue a denial of her Facebook post, with the panel saying the remarks were “without any proof” and hurt the honour of the girls lodged at the shelter home.
