Sushmit Dev Writes To Amit Shah

Congress leader Sushmita Dev has written a letter addressed to BJP president Amit Shah asking what happened to the 'Beti Bachao' campaign now that they are seeking Gopal Kanda's help in Haryana.

Dev wrote, "Gopal Kanda has been accused of rape, abetment of suicide, hatching a criminal conspiracy in connection with the suicide case. Forging an alliance with a criminal like him raises a question on BJP's resolution of providing security to women."

श्री @AmitShah जी

गोपाल कांडा जैसे अपराधी से गठजोड़ करना बेटियों की सुरक्षा को लेकर @BJP4India की प्रतिबद्धता के साथ साथ नैतिकता पर भी सवाल उठाता है. आज देश की बेटियां ये देख रही हैं कि आपके लिए क्या ज्यादा महत्त्वपूर्ण है – सत्ता या महिला सुरक्षा. #KandaBJPSeBetiBachao pic.twitter.com/BaqHT8Gvwu

In a series of tweets, senior BJP leader Uma Bharti has warned her party against taking support from rape accused leader Gopal Kanda in Haryana.

"I have received information that we may get the support of an independent MLA named Gopal Kanda. I have something to say on this," she said.

"This is the same Gopal Kanda because of whom a girl committed suicide and then her mother committed suicide after not getting justice, the case is still pending in court, and this person is out on bail. Whether Gopal Kanda is innocent or criminal, the law will decided on the basis of evidence, but winning this election does not acquit him of his crimes. There are many factors in winning an election," she said.

6. गोपाल कांडा बेक़सूर है या अपराधी, यह तो क़ानून साक्ष्यों के आधार पर तय करेगा, किंतु उसका चुनाव जीतना उसे अपराधों से बरी नहीं करता। चुनाव जीतने के बहुत सारे फैक्टर होते हैं।
